About Tim Macartney-Snape
“There are many reasons why I love climbing—there's the physical pleasure, the mental challenge, the beauty. But underlying all is the compulsion to explore, to wonder what is possible, where we have come from and where we are going.”
In 1984 Tim Macartney-Snape climbed Mount Everest using a new route up the North Face without oxygen or Sherpa assistance. In 1990, after having walked all the way from sea level he repeated this feat to become the first mountaineer to do so twice.
Tim uses his mountaineering achievements as a spectacular framework to deliver an inspirational example of how to overcome obstacles. His use of high quality slides with a synchronised sound track and film footage from his award winning films polishes off his profoundly moving presentations.
Despite his use of spectacular audio-visuals, he believes the success of his talks is due to mountaineering being such an accurate and simple metaphor for any worthwhile struggle in life.
The drama of climbing a Himalayan giant lends itself well to communicating the fundamental aspects of achievement and Tim has a low key but powerful ability to give the important topics of goals setting, motivation, dedication, self-discipline, team-work and managing a fresh, meaningful and memorable perspective.
Away from the platform he is the Chairman of an organisation which promotes environmental ethics and the preservation of integrity in natural landscapes, is a partner in a clothing and equipment manufacturer and once a year takes small groups of adventurous trekkers on expeditions to remote parts of the Himalaya and Africa.
