Andrew Kirkpatrick (climber)
Andrew Kirkpatrick (born 24 June 1971 in Stafford, England), is a British mountaineer, author, motivational speaker and monologist. He is best known as a big wall climber, having scaled Yosemite's El Capitan 29 times, including three solo ascents, and two one day ascents, as well as climbing in Patagonia, Alaska, Antarctica and the Alps. He has also crossed Greenland by ski. In 2014 he guided Alex Jones up Moonlight Buttress, Zion, raising £1.9 million for Sport Relief.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Alex Against the Rock )〕
==Biography==
Kirkpatrick was born in Stafford, England, in 1971, where his father Pete Kirkpatrick was based with the RAF and received the British Empire Medal for his service to Mountain Safety in 1993.〔http://www.rafmountainrescue.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/NHAA-23413.pdf〕 In the years that followed he moved to Sardinia, Windsor, Tywyn and Llanrwst (North Wales). At the age of six his parents divorced and Kirkpatrick, together with his brother Robin and sister Joanne, moved with their mother to Hull, where he lived until he moved to London aged 19. Much of Kirkpatrick's climbing writing reflects on this period of his life, and in his book ''Psychovertical'' he wonders whether moving from North Wales – with its mountains and beaches – had more of an effect on him than the separation of his parents.
