After being rescued off the roof of his parents house when he was three years old, Tim Emmett developed a life around climbing and extreme sports. Tim's talk gives you an insight into some of the adventures he has encountered from opening new exit points and wingsuit flying off the Chief, to deep water soloing and first ascents in the Himalayas.  The last three years have been spent on his project  'Spray On Top'  the 230m vastly overhanging back wall of the cave at Helmcken Falls, BC.

On his first Himalayan trip in 2006 with Ian Parnell, Tim climbed a new route on the East Face on Kedar Dome (6840M) free, in Super Alpine style, and nominated for the Piolet D'Or  (climbing’s equivalent to the Oscars).  Tim also achieved podium position 4 times at the World Ice Climbing Championships. He has both the hardest Sport climb and Deep Water Solo in the Caribbean. In 2010 Tim made the first ascent of Muy Caliente the first  E10 in Wales. Tim continues to pursue climbing’s latest cult – ‘para alpinism’ – climbing mountains with a parachute and then jumping off.
