About Dan Bryant Mountaineer
- Leslie Vickery Bryant, known as Dan Bryant (29 March 1905 – 10 December 1957), was a New Zealand school teacher and a mountain climber.
- He was a member of the 1935 British Mount Everest reconnaissance expedition, which was a preliminary to the full expedition of 1936 that attempted the summit.
- However in 1935 Bryant did not acclimatise well to altitude above 23,000 feet (7,000 m), and so was not included in the party for 1936.
- He was a very accomplished ice climber, and was well-liked on expeditions.
- These two factors led, indirectly, to his compatriot Edmund Hillary becoming a member of the successful 1953 British Mount Everest expedition.
