Michael "Mick" Fowler (b. 1956 in London) is a British mountaineer. He was awarded the Piolet d'Or and Golden Piton with Paul Ramsden for their 2002 ascent of Siguniang (6250m), was voted "the Mountaineer's Mountaineer" in a poll in The Observer, and was described by Chris Bonington in 1981 as "the most successful innovative mountaineer of the last twenty years". He specialises in on-sight climbing, and challenging, unclimbed lines on peaks of 6000 m-7000 m: he has never climbed an eight-thousander, as he is unwilling to take the necessary time off work from his job at HM Revenue and Customs (formerly Inland Revenue), where he is Assistant Director of Capital Taxes. He has also pioneered rock climbing on sea stacks, and the use of ice-climbing techniques on the soft chalk cliffs of England's South-East.
