Tim Emmett is a bit of an extreme guy. Accomplished in rock, ice, sport speed and a pioneer of DWS, he regularly finished within the top 10 at the World Ice Climbing Championships between 2002 and 2006 and was nominated for the Piolet D'or for his first high altitude ascent, a new route on the massive East Face on Kedar Dome (6840m) which he free-climbed with Ian Parnell.

More recently Tim has become known for his wing-suit flying which allows him to literally fly from the summit of a mountain, reaching speeds of 250 mph with absolutely no CO2 emissions.

Tim is an excellent speaker with some great stories to tell and awesome pictures. He will be doing some talks for us this spring, around the UK, talking about climbing, jumping and flying.

Hi Rebecca!

Why does Tim Emmett never come to Birmingham! Im sure Redpoint would do his lecture. There are a lot of guys who would be willing to fork out a few quid to see him....

How about a Manchester event?

In reply to james oswald: We tend to use the Lowry in Salford for our events, but this season Karen Darke is talking there. Maybe next time. Cheers, Rebecca
