Ben Tibbetts is an alpinist, photographer and artist

He has shot in some of the most demanding conditions on the planet and worked with some of the most successful brands in the industry.

Ben is an IFMGA certified mountain guide. Ben has worked in extreme locations across the Antarctic, climbed many of the largest faces of the Alps and made first descents of steep ski lines both in the Mont Blanc massif and in Greenland.

Between expeditions to the Antarctic and Greenland Ben has been working for the last five years on an epic project to climb and photograph a demanding selection of the “50 Finest Routes on the 4000m Peaks” of the European Alps.

This project, after 200,000 photos and over 300 days on the hill, is nearly finished. The book should be available in Autumn 2018 and an exhibition should follow…
