PETE WHITTAKER
One of the world’s top big wall solo climbers, Pete is a rising star of climbing who continually challenges himself both physically and mentally, passionate about completing adventurous climbs yet to be accomplished by others. Despite the seriousness of Pete’s climbing and his determination and drive to explore tough environments, overcome obstacles and achieve his goals, he adopts a relaxed, light-hearted and reassuringly down-to-earth approach to life.
