Mount Everest Foundation
Supporting the exploratory
Join us on 26 March at the Royal Geographical Society in London when James Price, George Ponsonby, Professor Rachel Carr and Sonam Rinzin will take to the stage in Summits, Science & Survival to share stories from the front lines of mountaineering and scientific exploration.
James and George’s new line on Pakistan’s Aikache Chhok (6673m) was hailed as one of the most impressive mountaineering achievements of 2025; a daring climb that pushed the pair to the limit over nine days on the mountain. As two climbers at the very start of their careers, they exemplify how a new generation is choosing to approach high altitude climbing.
Alongside them, Professor Rachel Carr and Sonam Rinzin will present their groundbreaking research on glacial lake outburst floods and the growing risks they pose to mountain communities. Drawing on their work in Bhutan, the pair will explain how remote villages might adapt to this growing threat.
Tickets are on sale for £20 (+fees) via Eventbrite, with profits from the event going towards our work supporting scientific and climbing exploration in the world's mountain regions.
