'''Michael Reardon''' was a professional [[United States|American]] [[Free-soloing|Free Solo Climber]], [[filmmaker]], [[motivational speaker]] and [[writer]]. Reardon perished after being swept to sea by a [[rogue wave]], shortly after climbing a sea cliff in [[County Kerry]], [[Ireland]]<ref name="IndependentObit"/>.
==
Michael Reardon was one of only a few professional [[Free-soloing|Free Solo climbers]]. He traveled the world looking for the next ultimate solo climb, giving [[Motivational speaker|motivational speeches]] and presenting slideshows.
Γραμμή 41:
He lived with his wife Marci and daughter Nikki in [[Oak Park, California]].
==
Reardon started climbing as a child on the boulders in his grandfather’s backyard. Together with his cousins, both his climbing skills and his interest in climbing were challenged and developed. [[Bouldering]] in a backyard turned to 3-day hikes in the [[Appalachian Mountains]], and then to ridgerunning in the [[Rocky Mountains]]. Reardon eventually found himself in [[California]] where his climbing skills were fostered even further.
Γραμμή 48:
After the successful ascent, the pair had enough time to climb a 500 foot 5.7. Reardon had now officially caught the climbing bug. Because he didn’t have any friends to climb with, or any gear of his own, Reardon was forced to start climbing without ropes. He returned to the 5.7 climb, and soon found himself at the top, without having to rely on any ropes.
==
Reardon attended the [[Ucla|University of California at Los Angeles]], graduating with [[Bachelor of Science|B.S. degrees]] in [[Philosophy]] and [[Political Science]], then later graduated from the [[Pepperdine University|Pepperdine University School of Law]] with a [[Juris doctor degree|Juris Doctor Degree]].
==
Reardon acted as the Head of Business Affairs for [[Harvey Entertainment]], then as a Partner/the Head of Production of [[Black Sky Entertainment]]. At the time of his death, he owned [[Jumprunner Productions]], a video production company that produced several [[Documentary film|documentaries]] about notable rock climbers.
