Tom Livingstone, born in 1990, is an English climber and writer. Originally from the south of England, he now lives in Chamonix. He has a predilection for trad, winter, and alpine climbing: the harder the better! Tom is also a renowned outdoor sports writer, and you can read some of his published articles in his website. His writing has been published in the United States and internationally, in print and online. Sir Chris Bonington said: "Tom Livingstone, one of the world's finest climbers, always uses the purest techniques. » His favorite routes include Cracking Up (IX, 9), The Fourth Dimension (E7 6c), Fun or Fear (ED), The Secret (IX, 9), Rare Lichen (E9 6c), Conan the Librarian (E6 6b), Divine Providence (ED), a winter ascent of the Walker Spur on the Grandes Jorasses, The Great Game on Koyo Zom (ED+), and the North Ridge variation on Latok I (ED+), but he's still eager to do more. A mountaineering instructor and holder of both mountaineering and single-pitch certifications, he is also an IRATA Level 2 rope access technician. Tom also gives lectures and presentations (more information below). In 2019, Tom was awarded the Piolet d'Or for his ascent of Latok 1 with Aleš Česen and Luka Stražar.
