About me
I am based in Bangor North Wales where I spend most of my time. Although I have strong links to Scotland and Switzerland and I like to try and get to them several times a year, I am a climber, mountaineer and outdoor instructor who spends as much time as possible working and playing in the mountains. I have spent my life teaching people how to access and enjoy the outdoors, be that a first day learning to read a map and compass, guided mountain scrambles, or teaching people how to lead multi pitch climbs.
My philosophy
My approach is client centred, I work with you to achieve your goals and ambitions. I hope that after your time working with me, you feel empowered, and have the knowledge to go tackle your own mountain adventures.
