OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Doug Scott Memorial Lecture: An evening with Brian Hall
Brian Hall was part of the golden age of British Himalayan Mountaineering from the mid 1970s to the mid 1980s, with expeditions to Mount Everest in winter, K2, Jannu, Baltoro Kangri, Shivling, Chamling and Ogre 2. Inspired by Doug Scott who stepped away from siege-based expeditions, Brian was part of the next generation of climbers who pioneered light and fast Alpine style expeditions in the Himalaya and pushed this approach to the limit. Brian will talk about the outrageous adventures of his climbing friends who risked their lives to stand on the world’s highest peaks. They thought it was a safer way to climb,but in the end the statistics show otherwise.
This event will raise money for Community Action Nepal, which was established by Doug Scott to improve the standard of living of remote mountain communities in Nepal by supporting health posts, schools and livelihood projects.
