Biography: Tim Emmett (born 1974), is a British-born adventure climber and climbing author. Considered one of best all -round climbers, his disciplinary styles have set the tone for the new realm of today's climbing. Those include ice-climbing, rock climbing, deep-water soloing (of which he is considered a pioneer) and alpine climbing. Emmett has established the hardest waterfall ice-climbs in the world, and was the first to climb grades of W10 and above.
