I live in the Lake District, and love teaching, coaching and guiding climbing and mountaineering. Whether its long days in the mountains, pulling hard on limestone sport crags or doing funky moves on a boulder...I'm pretty happy when I'm climbing. Its a sport with something for everyone. I can explore new places, meet new people, push myself physically and mentally, and enjoy an activity which is inclusive and inspiring no matter who you are. I aim to still be in the hills and pulling myself up rock climbs when I'm 80!
I have lived in Yorkshire, the Peak District and Scotland before returning to Cumbria. I started climbing as a teenager, first competing indoors and then learning to explore outdoor climbing and mountaineering all over the UK and abroad.
I studied for a degree in Outdoor Studies and since then have gained many years working in the outdoor industry with a wide variety of clients, activites and locations. I am experienced in youth development work and also currently study part time for a masters degree in Environmental Education.
I always continue to pursue my own passion for the outdoors in my personal time, particularly in rock climbing. I enjoy being outdoors regardless of the grade, but some specific highlights have been trad climbing up to E6, sport climbing up to 8a, and bouldering V11.
I really enjoy teaching and coaching others to develop skills for themselves, no matter what level they're at, and love sharing my passion with other people.
