Nigel Vardy
Nigel Vardy (born 22 April 1969 in Queen Mary Maternity Home in Derby) is an English mountaineer, motivational and leadership speaker, and the author of the books ''Once Bitten'' and ''Seven Peaks – Seven Islands''. He suffered severe frostbite on Mt. McKinley in Alaska in May 1999 and his injuries led to the amputation of his toes, fingers and nose. He also required reconstructive facial surgery. His helicopter rescue from over was stated as the highest in North American history at the time. Months of recovery followed his accident, but he has returned to climbing and explored mountains across the world. ==Early life== Vardy was brought up and educated Belper, Derbyshire, where he completed his O-levels at the local comprehensive school. He was always interested in the outdoors and spent many years walking with his family in the Derbyshire Peak District. At 16 he successfully applied for an apprenticeship with the East Midlands Electricity Board and began his career in engineering. He then studied in Nottingham before qualifying as an electrical engineer.
