The “ancient” 32-year-old leader of the group, who was once a legend of the scene, with his series of globe-trotting, death-defying exploration videos. He stopped posting on YouTube two years ago after an accident that resulted in George's older brother plummeting to his death. Staring down the barrel of true adulthood, he acts as a sort of mentor to the group as he slowly passes the urbex torch to the next generation.
