Trek and Climb with RAJA

The 3rd Sujal Mukherjee Memorial Lecture was held in Rotary Sadan, Kolkata on 19th December, 2015.

The summary of Alan's talk is quoted below: "In the Golden Age of mountaineering, only the wealthy had the time and resources to visit the Alps or Greater Ranges. Nowadays, with the advent of cheap flights and more leisure time, the ordinary mountaineer based in Ireland can take advantage of a host of opportunities, including winter climbing in Scotland/Norway, summer in the Alps, occasional big trips to the Himalaya, and of course there is always stuff t...
