Film, TV and radio


Kirkpatrick has worked in film and TV as a safety advisor and stunt rigger, including Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,[2] as well as in programs for CBBC, ITN, BBC and BBC Scotland.[3] The BBC program "The Big Climb" about his ascent of El Capitan[4] with his 13-year-old daughter Ella won multiple awards.[5] In 2014, he guided the TV presenter Alex Jones up the Moonlight Buttress in Zion National Park to raise money for Sports Relief, raising £1.9 million. In 2014, Kirkpatrick gave a fifteen-minute talk on BBC radio 4 in its Four Thought slot on the subject of the importance of risky play for children.[6] In January 2015, he followed the route of the heroes of telemark on the Hardangervidda by ski with his two children for a BBC film on risky play.[7]



Writing


Kirkpatrick's dyslexia is well documented,[8] and these struggles form part of his first book, Psychovertical.[citation needed]


Kirkpatrick is only the third person to win the Boardman Tasker Prize for Mountain Literature twice (Paul Pritchard and Jim Perrin being the other authors to win twice).[9] His first win was with his first book, Psychovertical in 2008[10] and his second with his book, Cold Wars: Climbing the fine line between risk and reality.[11]


Psychovertical has been translated into German (published in 2010 as Psychovertikal by AS Verlag), Polish, Italian and Korean.[citation needed] The Italian version was published in 2011 as Psychovertical by Edizioni Versante Sud and in 2012 won the literary prize Gambrinus "Giuseppe Mazzotti".[12] It is also published in French.[citation needed]
