Explorers Connect is a collective of explorers and adventurers, meeting for talks, socials and expeditions.

At 22, Alex Staniforth is a record-breaking endurance adventurer, athlete, inspirational speaker and mental health advocate. In 2015 his second attempt at climbing Everest, ended in disaster after narrowly escaping an avalanche and the Nepal earthquake which took the lives of three of his team. In 2017 he became the fastest person ever to climb all 100 UK county tops, covering over 5,000 miles in 72 days self-supported; spreading the message that mental illness is not a sign of weakness. Through his talks, Alex does not just tell the anecdotes and stories of these adventures but focuses on the personal journey, life lessons and the strategies developed through the outdoors for overcoming adversity.
