Successfully climbed Nepal's iconic and legendary Mount Ama Dablam, having been funded by PWRR of the British Army. Summit reached at 0800 on 6th November 2024, along with Dawa Sherpa.

I was honoured to climb with my brother Tom, along with Sherpa for Ama Dablam, Dawa Sherpa, and Dhiraj Rai, a Nepalese trekking guide and good friend who we were privileged enough to take up his first mountain.

Island Peak, 6189m
With my climbing partner, Adam Liendo, and without Sherpa or guide, we successfully climbed Island Peak via the normal route in preparation for our failed attempt of Ama Dablam, which was also without Sherpa support or guide. We didn't manage to recover from illness, and aborted our attempt of Ama Dablam at Camp 1, having each carried up 23kg to camp 1.
