About Nathan Bursnell

Nathan is a passionate hiker and climber who discovered a love for the mountains despite originally hailing from the famously flat lands of Norwich. Now rarely far from steep ground, he spends much of his time trad climbing in the local area, with regular trips to the Peak District to enjoy classic British rock routes.

Beyond the UK, he has experience sport climbing in Greece, Spain and even Thailand, alongside a growing passion for high-altitude and alpine environments. His mountaineering highlights include summiting Island Peak in Nepal and visiting Everest Base Camp, as well as completing a range of alpine climbs around Chamonix, including successful ascents of Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn.
