Nigel Vardy is an English mountaineer whose experiences of recovering from severe frostbite injuries led him to become a motivational speaker and author.

Vardy was rescued after being overtaken by darkness at high altitude on a climb of Denali in Alaska in May 1999,[1] facing temperatures of −76 °F (−60 °C).

[2] He suffered severe frostbite[3] and his injuries led to the amputation of all his toes, fingers and his nose.

[10] Vardy uses his experiences of rescue, recovery and return to mountaineering as a motivational speaker, and is sometimes known as "Mr. Frostbite".

[5][11] Vardy was appointed a "Get Outside Champion" by the British Ordnance Survey in 2017,[12][13] and is an ambassador for the Mountain Heritage Trust.
