​Nick Ducker grew up in suburban Adelaide and found his passion for the outdoors and the season lifestyle in flipping ski seasons. Finding climbing at age 20, he slowly transitioned to a full time dirtbag climber, trading winter for summer and ski gear for a trad rack.

These days you can find him living in the Blue Mountains, working as a software developer from home and trying to put down sport projects way above his pay grade.
