More than Everest selected for the Kendal Mountain Festival
I am delighted to announce that my film More than Everest has been selected for this year's Kendal Mountain Festival. The film will be screened at the Brewery Arts Centre Studio on Thursday19th November at 20:15. After the film there will be a Q&A session with Graham Hoyland whose T.H. Somervell biography First on Everest has been shortlisted for the 2026 Boardman Tasker Prize for Mountain Literature.
‘Hoyland writes with rare authority, empathy and insight, delivering a vital and beautifully told biography long overdue.’ - Sir Chris Bonington CVO, CBE, DL.
‘Hoyland eloquently charts Somervell's rise, through science, art, and religion, to become a mountaineer of the highest repute.’ - Brian Hall, Boardman Tasker Prize judge and author of High Risk: Climbing to Extinction.
