Reinhold Messner no less, has called Steve "The best high-altitude climber in the world today." Steve says, "Being called the best makes me very uncomfortable…. My intention is to be as good as I can be. Mountaineering is too complex to be squeezed into a competition. It is simply not something that lends itself to comparison. Climbing is about process, not achievement. The moment your mind wanders away from the task of the climbing-at-hand will be the moment you fail."
Steve published his first book earlier this year, and also won a Film Prize at Kendal in 2008. He will be lecturing on Friday 20 November at 8.30pm, and also interviewed by Niall Grimes about his book on Saturday at 2pm.
Steve is sponsored, and brought to Kendal by Patagonia.
