Expert Wealth Clients may be aware that Jonathan’s wife Nancy runs a charity working to break the cycle of poverty in Kenya. They recently hosted a free online event with mountaineer and broadcaster Stephen Venables.

Stephen was the first Briton to ascend the summit of Mount Everest without bottled oxygen, a feat which has been described as one of the supreme athletic tests known to man.

Everest was a thrilling highlight in a career which has taken Stephen right through the Himalaya, from Afghanistan to Tibet, making first ascents of many previously unknown mountains. His adventures have also taken him to the Rockies, the Andes, the Antarctic island South Georgia, East Africa, South Africa and the European Alps. He has also appeared in several television documentaries, in the Imax film ‘Shackleton’s Antarctic Adventure’, and is a past president of the South Georgia Association and of the Alpine Club.
