Ian Woodall recreated his various climbs to the summit of Everest by both the South Face and the more difficult North Face. His monologue interspersed with images and soundtrack was quite remarkable in the way it covered the high points and the setbacks of his various expeditions. He lead the first South African team to the summit where President Mandela phoned him to offer congratulations but also had to deal with the loss of climbing friends. He is now planning another expedition with the sole aim of laying to rest some of the bodies of climbers who have died near the summit where the extreme cold keeps them frozen. His talk was quite remarkable and thought provoking.
