Tom Livingstone is a 33-year-old climber and writer originally from the south of England.
He has a penchant for trad, winter and alpine climbing - the bigger and badder, the better.
Sir Chris Bonington said: ‘Tom Livingstone, one of the finest climbers in the world, always using the purest techniques.’
In 2019, Tom was awarded the Piolet d’Or (Golden Ice Axe) Award for his ascent of Latok I with Ales Cesen and Luka Strazar.
Tom founded the British ‘Young Alpinist Group’ in 2020. Its mission statement is to advance the next generation of world-leading young UK alpinists.
He is sponsored by Petzl, Mountain Equipment, La Sportiva and Julbo.
