Navigation, scrambling, rock climbing and mountaineering courses and guiding throughout the year in Snowdonia, Scotland and the Alps.

Thanks for visiting my site. I run a range of hill walking, navigation, trekking, scrambling, rock climbing and mountaineering courses and holidays from our base in Snowdonia as well as winter skills courses and snow and ice climbing courses in Scotland through the winter months. I also offer mountain safety consultancy services and training for remote filming and technical advice for climbing wall staff and management.

Whether you are just beginning your adventures in the mountains and looking for some navigation instruction or whether you are a seasoned climber looking for some multi pitch rock climbing or ice climbing guiding or instruction I can help. We offer a full range of hill walking, scrambling, rock climbing, mountain guiding, winter skills and winter climbing courses and private guiding.

I run the majority of courses myself but also occasionally employ a team of highly qualified and motivated climbers and mountaineers to work with me. I am an experienced climber and mountaineer and I hold the highest national instructional qualification, the Mountain Instructor Certificate. I also hold the International Mountain Leader Award and I am the current secretary of the Association of Mountaineering Instructors.

On all of our courses our aim is to provide you with the skills that you need to leave the course self sufficient in your chosen topic. We run a variety of progressive mountain training skills courses that allow you to gain new skills and push new boundaries as you progress. Visit our full range of courses on the courses page.

We also run a number of guided holidays to allow you to enjoy the pure activity without any of the stress of leading, organising and worrying about conditions etc. These vary from single days such as climbing Snowdon through to week long multi pitch rock climbing courses.

We run a number of open courses every month for individuals to join other like minded folks. The dates for these can be seen on the diary page.

We can pick and mix any of our courses and run them on dates to suit you by running them as a private course. You can read more on the private courses page.
