Biography

Squash Falconer was the First British woman to climb and paraglide from the summit of Mont Blanc having ridden there from the UK on her motorbike. She is a multi-record-breaking adventurer, mountaineer and speaker. When speaking to corporate and business audiences she shares her extreme adventures, from summiting Mount Everest to becoming the world’s highest ever bum boarder.

Mirroring real day-to-day workplace challenges, Squash involves each individual in the audience on a very personal level. Participants leave inspired, motivated and confident that they too can overcome anything and achieve their goals.

Squash holds claim to be the world’s highest ever bum boarder, a title she gained on Cho Oyu, an 8,201m peak, the 6th highest mountain in the world.
The elements essential to the success of her expeditions and goals include; teamwork, resilience, discipline, motivation and creative thinking. Being able to adapt in rapidly changing environments where decisions must be made under high pressure and still perform at the highest level are key components in the success of Squash’s remarkable endeavours.

In 2013 Squash completed a 3000mile journey on an ElliptiGO setting a new distance record for travel by Elliptical bicycle. She was also the European Women’s ElliptiGO Champion for three consecutive years.

Using film and TV to share her adventures Squash has self-shot many of her trips and received accolade for the short films she’s produced. BMW in Mexico invited Squash to co present a program where she travelled through Baja California on a motorbike. Then for a separate extreme adventure travel documentary she rode thousands of miles through South America on her BMW GS 800.

Squash takes you on an emotional journey through her amazing stories and videos which really reinforces the message that if you believe in yourself you can achieve great things.
