Neil Gresham is one of the world’s best-known all round climbers, who has performed at a high level in every discipline from Deep Water Soloing to sport, ice and traditional for over two decades.
In the UK he made the third ascent of Indian Face (E9 6c) in 1995 and the second ascent of Equilibrium (E10 7a) in 2001, both which were widely regarded as the hardest of their genre in the world at the time.
His Pembroke Deep Water Solo, Olympiad 8b is the toughest in Britain and remains unrepeated. As well as pioneering first ascents internationally he has also put up new sport routes on some of the UK’s premiere limestone crags, such as Sabotage 8c+ at Malham Cove in 2016. Neil has also been at the forefront of the development of coaching and writes personalised training programs.
Neil will be regaling us with tales of his epic climbing adventures across the world, culminating in his triumphant first ascent of the formidable Lexicon E11 – one of the toughest trad routes in the UK – at the ripe young age of 50. Get ready to be inspired by Neil’s incredible journey and soak up his wisdom as he shares the secrets of his success.
