Lectures
"A true adventurer with a great story to tell. Es follows in the best British tradition of exciting, innovative, exploratory mountaineering and his lecture is a wonderful antidote to telly celebrity culture."
Stephen Venebles - first ascentionist of the Kangshung face of Everest. First British ascent of Everest without oxygen.
"One of my favourite climbing talks to date. Fantastic photos. Great manner when he was talking - interesting and exciting without being over the top."
Lucy McNee
"Informative and funny, exciting and down-to-earth all rolled into one. I also liked your ability to make something funny as well as poignant and your ability to be honest yet humerous about the stonger and weaker points of both yourself and fellow climbers."
