Stuart is currently studying in his final year of a four year engineering course at Emmanuel College Cambridge.

With many years of mountaineering experience behind him, including several ascents of mountains in the Alps, Stuart provides the technical expertise for the team to reach the top of Aconcagua successfully.

He will have just returned from the ECMC Chulu 1999 expedition as the team head off up Aconcagua, so his experience of high altitude conditions will be invaluable for the expedition.

With safety always top on his mind, the team are relying on him to lead them safely up the steep slopes.
