Andy Parkin is regarded as one of the world’s finest alpine climbers but, in 1984, he suffered a near fatal climbing accident in the Alps, and many believed his love affair with mountains was over. Andy’s slow rehabilitation involved painting and sculpting of the mountains that had so very nearly claimed his life, and now Andy is known as much for his inspirational artwork as his climbing. Incredibly, Andy also learned to climb again, adapting his climbing style to the demands of his damaged body. Andy Parkin: A Life in Adaptation was a collaboration between the artist and a small group of filmmakers with a genuine mutual fascination and respect for the mountains and for Andy's intriguing way of life, and gives an insightful peak into the life and work of Andy Parkin.
