The next chapter
Two poles. A new perspective.
Dr Antony Jinman reached the Geographic North Pole in 2010 and completed a solo journey across Antarctica to the South Pole in 2013–14. His next ambition is an attempt on Mount Everest in spring 2029.
Road to Everest follows the work behind that ambition: rebuilding mountain skills, developing altitude experience and turning the lessons along the way into something others can use.

A proposed step into 8,000-metre climbing, subject to progress through the earlier expeditions and expedition arrangements.
- Spring 2029The goal
Mount Everest
The ambition is an Everest attempt, informed by the skills, experience and readiness developed throughout the programme.
UK and Alpine training will continue between expeditions. This is a working plan: later stages remain subject to readiness, funding, access and conditions.
Purpose beyond the summit
Legacy is the transfer of experience.
Antony’s expeditions have always been about sharing the journey. Between 2010 and 2020, Education Through Expeditions and its ambassador programme engaged with around 1,000 schools in the UK and internationally, connecting exploration with science, learning and aspiration.
Road to Everest carries that purpose forward through storytelling, speaking and educational engagement—sharing the preparation, setbacks, decisions and discoveries as well as the milestones.
Experience becomes valuable when someone else can use it.
