Interview Malcolm Bass on Life after Stroke

Malcolm Bass is known for his exploratory climbs across the world, from remote Scottish winter routes to first ascents in Alaska, China, India and Pakistan.

During Stroke Awareness month this May, we sent Malcolm some questions about his recovery so far and what he's learned along the way.
