German climber Ines Papert is a demon on ice, rock and in the mountains. This autumn, in conjunction with her sponsor Arc'teryx, she embarks on a lecture tour around Europe and this is your chance to win some tickets (and if you don't win you get tickets at a discount) for one of her UK lectures at Snow+Rock, the Covent Garden store, on 20th November at 7pm.
The expedition into Papert's world takes 90 minutes. She talks about conquering summits as well as about failures, about friendship and loneliness, hardships and moments of pure bliss � a capturing presentation illustrated by spectacular imagery and video.
One highlight of the lecture is her visit to the amazing "City of Ice" in the Manchurian city of Harbin in China, with renowned photographer Franz Walter.
The city of Harbin has been presenting the international Ice and Snow Festival since 1985. This megacity in the Chinese northeast region is congealed for the whole winter at temperatures below -25�C.
On a space covering more than 16 soccer fields, a wonder world of ice emerges every winter: the gigantic towers, castles, bridges and cathedrals are built from solid ice, taken from the river nearby.
It took Ines and her team more than a year to finally obtain permission to climb this unique artificial world of ice. Ines describes the adventure in her lectures.
Franz Walter captured the almost surreal experience in artistic photographs. The exhibition accompanying Ines' tour shows works shot during the short periods of warm, dim daylight as well as illuminated night shots of an icy city sparkling in hundreds of colors.
See Ines at Snow+Rock, the Covent Garden store, on 20th November at 7pm
