Nik Royale has progressive cerebral palsy. He was in a wheelchair on the day that I met him, when he was visiting DMM to thank them for their support of his ascent of First Pinnacle Rib on Tryfan.

His condition is gradually worsening, some days he can walk, but some days he is wheelchair bound.

This short film documents Nik's climb up Tryfan in the autumn of 2008, and shows the determination of Nik and also the emotional strain that his condition puts him through.

Great article. Good to see Nik getting some column space high up in the list and really good to see the high profile support. Congrats to the team who supported him as well.

superb stuff; something i'm going to point many of my colleagues towards as an example of people not letting disability crush ambition and that mountains can be accessible to all...
