Jon Gupta  

Another adventurer originally from the West Country in the UK, Jon turned his hand to all things expedition and mountain back in 2005 after spending two months in the remote jungles of Belize. This gave Jon the opportunity to push himself harder than ever before and he learned what expedition life was all about. Since this initial expedition, Jon has gone out and Made - It - Happen. Leading over 60+ expeditions worldwide that include, running and setting a speed record on Kilimanjaro in Africa, climbing the highest of them all - Everest - twice, from both sides. Jon was a part of the first ever team to complete the 430mile Yukon Arctic Ultra, renowned for being the hardest, coldest, foot race on the planet. He is a member of the exclusive Bob Graham Round Club after recently smashing the British fell running challenge course in an impressive 22 Hours, 28 minutes. Jon is a member of the Alpine Club, an ambassador for the Youth Adventure Trust and a member of the Mountain Training Association. He holds the Mountaineering Instructors Award, both Summer and Winter Mountain Leader qualifications, and the WMT Advanced Medicine certificate. The great outdoors is an incredible place & Jon has the skills required to coordinate and lead many of our international trips.
