Tim was truly inspirational. In over three years in Eton, I have heard many speakers - both famous and obscure - but non who managed to enthuse their audience quite as much as Tim did.

Tim Emmett is one of this country’s coolest climbers, and his passion for rock and ice climbing has taken him all over the world developing the sport.
When he’s not scaling a sheer rock face, you’ll find Tim giving inspirational, energy-charged lectures that motivate kids across the country on subjects as diverse as ice climbing, snowboarding, surfing, scuba diving, skydiving, kickboxing and, more recently, BASE jumping. Tim’s quest is to seek out extreme adventure and push the envelope of psychological and physical performance.
Well-known throughout climbing circles (he achieved a podium position three times in the Ice Climbing World Cup), Tim has appeared on many magazine covers and countless TV shows. Most famously Top Gear, when he and compadre Leo Houlding challenged Clarkson in an Audi RS4 – and won!
In 07 Tim was back on our screens presenting Outdoor Britain, a new BBC1 documentary.
Tim’s latest focus has become climbing’s newest cult – ‘Para Alpinism’, which means climbing a big wall with a BASE rig and then jumping off, into freefall, to get back down. Tim is currently undergoing a rigorous training programme for ‘Wingsuit flying’, which will allow him to cover vast distances with a longer freefall.
