Clinton Thomas

In 2005, Clinton nearly lost his left foot in a motorcycle accident, leading to a year-long recovery during which he took up running to reclaim his strength. By 2016, he confronted his fear of heights through climbing, eventually mastering a 250-meter free climb in the Gorge du Verdon and becoming an advocate for outdoor exploration and introducing others to climbing.

Jasmin Rafferty

Jasmin, a 28-year-old climber from Northeast England now in London, works as a trainer at an indoor bouldering gym, sharing her passion for climbing. While she enjoys competition and lead climbing, her true love is outdoor climbing, which serves as her sanctuary, allowing her to find solace in nature and helping others, especially children, build confidence through the sport.

Charlie Smith

Let's get to know him

Charlie Smith is a renowned designer and Arctic explorer, celebrated for his pioneering expeditions in the Arctic, Scandinavia, Iceland, and Greenland. His achievements have earned him recognition as one of 'The New Shackletons: Britain's Next Generation of Explorers' by Gentleman's Journal, 'Most Inspiring Young Explorers' by Wired for Adventure, and one of the Top 10 Next Generation of Explorers by British Airways High Life magazine.

Over the past decade, Charlie has repeatedly ventured into the depths of the Arctic winter in Iceland, undertaking a journey that highlights the extreme challenges and unexpected outcomes of such expeditions. From battling isolated cabin fever and successive panic attacks to testing the very limits of his mental endurance, Charlie's experiences offer a profound insight into the harsh realities of Arctic exploration. He will share his personal stories of dealing with ongoing frostbite, debilitating blindness, and finding ‘comfort’ in the uncomfortable.

In 2024, Charlie made one final, determined attempt to retrace his steps from 10 years ago across the mountains of Southern Iceland. With a new team by his side, he sought to confront past failures and finally bring closure to this enduring expedition.
