Rob is best known for his amazing Everest achievements. He has summited 5 times, including twice in one week in ’07, in the unique capacity of medic, cameraman (for Sir Ranulph Fiennes/BBC) and high altitude guide, although he rather self deprecatingly calls himself a “high altitude tea boy”! Rob has also climbed McKinley a few times, Elbrus in Russia, Ama Dablam, Cho Oyu and various peaks in South America not to mention attempts on Aconcagua and Lhotse. Medically, Rob is now pursuing a GP career to make time for his adventurous pursuits which include plans to row the Atlantic, run the Marathon des Sables and return to Everest (again!) in 2010 to raise funds for Marie Curie Cancer Care. |

As long has he has been going into the mountains Nick has taken a camera with him but in recent years landscape and travel photography have become a passion in their own right.
