Join Anna as she follows the narrative of her book Time on Rock (shortlisted for the Wainwright Prize and the Boardman Tasker Award for Mountain Literature) and brings us up to date on her recent expedition to Bolivia, climbing her first 5,000m and 6,000m peaks and interviewing the amazing Cholita Climbers, Bolivian Aymara women who climb the highest peaks in their colourful pollera - huge skirts with multiple petticoats!
Arrive at 7 to get a drink at the bar, ready for a 7.30 start.
