George King

George King, famously known as The Shard Climber, is a pioneering figure in urban free climbing and extreme sports. At just 19 years old, he made global headlines by scaling London’s iconic Shard, the tallest building in the UK, without ropes or permission a daring feat that cemented his reputation as one of the most fearless climbers of his generation.

George’s climbs are not limited to the UK. He has conquered skyscrapers and structures around the world, including:

• Lotte Tower in Seoul, South Korea
• Stratosphere Tower in London
• Copenhill in Copenhagen, Denmark

Many of his ascents culminate in BASE jumps, where he parachutes from the summit to the ground, combining adrenaline-fuelled adventure with calculated precision.

🎥 Media & Television Career

George’s radical achievements and charismatic personality have led to a successful media career. He has presented two Channel 4 extreme sports specials and was the subject of the acclaimed documentary The Boy Who Climbed The Shard, which has amassed over 1.6 million views on YouTube.

🎤 Motivational Speaker on Fear & Neurodiversity

As a sought-after motivational speaker, George delivers powerful talks on fear management, mental resilience, and neurodiversity, drawing from his personal experience with ADHD. Diagnosed at a young age, George was prescribed Ritalin, a treatment he felt disconnected him from his true self. This pivotal moment inspired him to develop mental strategies that transformed his ADHD from a perceived weakness into a superpower.

His key messages include:

• Reframing ADHD as a source of strength
• Challenging traditional education models
• Empowering individuals to take control of their neurodiverse identities
• Using visualisation, mindfulness, and physical discipline to overcome fear

George’s mission is to help others harness their unique traits and rewrite their personal narratives from a place of understanding and empowerment.
