I am a British alpinist and high-altitude mountaineer - the youngest Briton to climb the world's eighth highest mountain, Manaslu 8163m, without the use of supplemental oxygen, and the youngest Briton to climb the 7126m Himalayan peak, Himlung Himal. Other notable ascents include Mount Everest and Ama Dablam among others.

Mount Everest

I successfully climbed Mount Everest in 2021, reaching the top of the world's highest mountain at 0629 on the 23rd May having only used supplemental oxygen from camp 4 and just 3 weeks after contracting Covid-19 on the mountain.
