Jamie McGuiness – Expedition leader.
“Successful on Aconcagua, you have definitely got what it takes for Everest,” we just need a sensible buildup, and a little luck with the weather!”
“What I admired about you on our successful Aconcagua expedition was a surprising humbleness combined with a great can do attitude and your attention to detail in preparation. That will keep you alive and successful on Everest.”

Traditionally characterised as a conservative profession, Tom is no ordinary property valuer…and likely the only one to successfully summit the planet’s highest peak! Well done Tom.

“I’ve known Tom for a bit over 12 years and I still find it amazing that the same person that is excited by the thought of climbing the world’s highest mountains can also get a kick out of making the day of an old man as he walks past in the street. It’s not surprising to me that Tom has found a challenge that puts his sheer determination and his willingness to help others into a common goal.”
