In his own written words, Nick Bullock is a 'Mountaineer. Climber. Author. Prison PE Officer escapee. NOT an adventurer.'
​
Perhaps one of the most determined and endearing climbers you will meet.
​
Nick began climbing in 1993 and quickly established himself as one of the UK’s leading climbers. Rock climbing, Alpine Climbing, Expedition Climbing, Icefall & Mixed, Scottish & Welsh Winter climbing.
​
Prison Officer and Physical Education Instructor HM Prison Service. Needing to leave routine behind, where he worked as a prison officer in a maximum security jail with some of Britain’s most notorious criminals. At 37, with no fixed abode and a van (8:29) too comfortable - 'Let's get scared'. (10:18 quote).
​
In self-proclaimed effort, Nick took to writing, Echoes & Tides.
​
His writing has become renowned, with published work in Alpinist, Climb Magazine, Vertical, The Alpine Club Journal, The American Alpine Journal amongst others.
