Athlete Profile: Penzy Dinsdale, Mountaineer

Meet Penzy, mountaineer, skier, adventure athlete and photographer.
I'm Penzy Dinsdale, Mountaineering Ambassador for Further Faster (with a part-time gig as a doctor on the side to fund adventure). I've been adventuring since I was given a map and compass, aged six and set loose solo on an orienteering course. It could only improve from there.

Now I fill my time with ski touring, mountaineering and transalpine tramping adventures, although I'll give anything a go as long as it's outside! I'm also an avid photographer, which is mostly an excuse to slow down and enjoy the adventure.

I look forward to meeting new adventure buddies out in the hills and have several exciting plans to traverse things I hope to bring to fruition over the next few years! Follow along here: https://www.instagram.com/penzyd/
I have read your harrowing account of your two trip in the Olivines, in 2016. Seen the video also. Amazing endurance and fortitude shown by all three of you. I hope your more recent adventures have had better weather. I visited the ice plateau myself in 1979, and have happy memories of two days of rain, when in the comfort of the Forgotten River Rock Bivvy.
