ROCKCLIMBER
A partnership between Nick and local engineering firm, Rock Engineering, has resulted in the development of an original, one of a kind power mobility chair, specifically designed for Nick to attempt a solo ascent of Yr Wyddfa (Mt Snowdon) and become the first person with disabilities to climb the mountain unaided, solely using a powerchair. At least, that was where it started, but has since grown considerably from this as; businesses, adventure tour operators, spinal injury and wounded veterans charities learn about RockClimber, and the team begin planning for more extreme adventures, in various countries around the world.

"Your honesty and openness was hugely inspiring. Your choice of words and your heartfelt delivery was real and raw which kept the attention of such a large audience (almost 300) brilliantly.
