George King

Biography

George King is widely recognised as “The Shard Climber”: an extreme urban athlete known for urban free solo ascents and BASE jumps from landmark structures. In 2019, he scaled London’s The Shard, a feat that drew global attention and was later profiled in Channel 4’s documentary The Boy Who Climbed The Shard.

Today, George brings the same disciplined preparation, decision-making under pressure, and emotional control required in extreme environments into high-impact keynote talks on fear, performance under stress, resilience, and neurodiversity (ADHD) delivered with cinematic storytelling and practical takeaways audiences can apply immediately.
