Matthew Holt

inNATURE
Matthew Holt is a Cape Town-based Brit who - in a fit of midlife angst - swopped his pinstriped suit for a down jacket to climb Everest and complete the Seven Summits. Since then, he's also skied the last degree to both Poles, climbed 35 of the world's 50 most prominent peaks and chanced his luck at bull running, bog snorkelling and wife carrying. He's the author of two books, The Miles High Club and Life's Rich Tapestry.
