Biography
Vivian Rigney is an executive coach from Stepaside, County Dublin, who took up climbing around 2000 despite a fear of heights. He summited Everest on 23 May 2010, reported as the 17th Irish person on Everest and the fourth Irish person to complete the 7 summits, and later wrote Naked at the Knife-Edge about what the mountain taught him about leadership.
