British Mountaineer & Youngest Person to Climb the 7 Summits

REQUEST BOOKING INFORMATION

Jake Meyer Biography

Jake Meyer is a world record breaking British Mountaineer. He is the youngest man in the world to have climbed the 7 summits and is now a motivational speaker applying his knowledge on teamwork and perseverance to the business world.

Meyer started climbing at the age of 12. At 14, he set his sights on becoming the youngest person to climb the '7 Summits', the highest mountain on each continent. Starting by watching the Millennium dawn from the summit of Kilimanjaro when he was 15, Meyer completed the challenge on June 4, 2005 at age 21, becoming the youngest Briton to climb Everest, and the youngest man in the world to complete the 7 Summits.

Meyer's accomplishments don't stop there. In 2006, Meyer set a record of the fastest ascent of the highest mountain in every State in the contiguous USA (The Lower 48), which involved 15,000 miles of driving, around 100,000ft of climbing and 350 miles of trekking, all in 23 days, 19 hours and 31 minutes. To date he's visited 49 States and their high points out of 50 - only Hawaii left!

Then Meyer set his sights on K2, the second highest mountain in the world. In 2009 Meyer attempted K2 - reaching 7700m before turning back due to poor snow conditions. The account of this expedition was made into the award winning documentary K2: Siren of the Himalayas. ​ In 2016, Meyer returned to K2, as part of the British Team, which was considered one of the strongest teams on the mountain. Despite this, on the summit attempt, Meyer arrived in C3 (7300m) to find that it had been wiped clean by an avalanche, which had destroyed all of the kit and equipment which had been previously cached. Fortunately, no one was hurt in the avalanche, but it did put a stop to any summits that season.

In 2018, Meyer returned to K2 for his third attempt. After acclimatizing on Broad Peak (the 12th highest mountain in the world), he and his teammate Tomas, along with 3 Sherpas, reached the summit of K2 at 0800 on 21st July 2018. For Meyer, it was an incredible end to a 13 year dream and 10 years of trying, and proved and determination and perseverance can pay off in the end.

He's visited the highest point in every county in England (all 82 in 7 days, 4 hours and 20 minutes). He's been to 45 countries in the world, and climbed to the highest point in 27 of them (and counting).

He's a commissioned officer in the British Army Reserve and has served on operations in Afghanistan.

Today, Meyer is a full time management development consultant for the Inspirational Development Group. IDG is an award winning business performance improvement organization who work with countries, corporations and enterprises around the world. Meyer is an experienced speaker, presenter and MC and has given over 400 talks about his expeditions, as well as several hundred presentations every year on leadership and management development topics.
