I split my time between Sheffield, North Wales & the West Highlands. I travel throughout the UK to work and climb. I have been instructing for over 15 years with a focus on rock climbing, winter climbing and navigation in the UK and am Hill and Mountain Skills tutor.
Several times a year I work as an Expedition Leader and have led over 20 expeditions overseas, working for Secret Compass and Jagged Globe.
Whilst working as an instructor I have undertook a PhD in Glacial Geomorphology at the University of Sheffield.
I have climbed in the majority of the Greater Ranges having most recently completed a personal expedition which involved mountaineering in Nepal, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Afghanistan. The latter two were funded by the Mount Everest Foundation, British Mountaineering Council (Julie Tullis Award) and the Jeremy Willson Charitable Trust. I have also made four first ascents in South Georgia, Antarctica and climbed to 7000m.
Currently, I am writing an article series on Expedition Planning for Trek and Mountain Magazine.
I am a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society.

I am a Winter Mountaineering and Climbing Instructor and run Roam Mountains. I specialise in preparing people for alpine and greater ranges climbing expeditions in the UK, predominately in North Wales, the West Highlands and the Peak District. I've led expeditions in the greater ranges and across the globe for 20 years, climbed peaks such as Peak Lenin (7134m) and Aconcagua (6961m) as well as making first ascents in remote areas such as a 6000m peak in the far West of Nepal. In addition to mountain expedition I've led expeditions in remote and difficult to access places such as the deserts of Iran and Sudan and trekking and climbing in the Wakhan Corridor, Afghanistan and mountaineering on South Georgia, Antarctica. I've summited 71 out of 82 alpine 4000m peaks and am a full member of the Alpine Club. I hold the WEMSI Wilderness Emergency Medical Technician first aid qualification. One of my favourite things to do in the UK are sea cliff climbing, long mountain rock climbs in North Wales, Scottish winter climbing, Cuillin Ridge traverses and Autumn gritstone climbs. Helping people achieve their goals in the mountains is the best part of my job.
