professional expertise
“Rob is the definition of the calm professional in an environment that is anything but.
He is a walking encyclopaedia of the mountains, and the techniques used to master them for the furthering of your own life story.
And he inspires trust by being the safe pair of hands from which you can learn how to make yours steady
in the most beautiful and dramatic places in the world – not least North Wales!”

We provide Mountaineering Instruction and Courses in Snowdonia in small groups and hold the highest instructional qualifications in the UK. We are passionate climbers and mountaineers with a lifetime of experience, dedicated to providing the very best instruction to make you self sufficient in the mountains. We want you to enjoy the mountains as much as we do, to do so safely and to open up new adventures by improving your skills, your judgement and increasing your own experience. I set the business up in 2003 and now run most of the courses with my good friend Huw, we see the same clients coming back regularly and that is a highlight of what we do – we watch people improve and we share adventures.
As well as being active mountaineers and instructors I also volunteer on the Llanberis Mountain Rescue Team and bring that additional level of experience to our teaching to help you manage risk in the mountains. We run a wide range of instructional courses from navigation through to ice climbing from our base in Snowdonia and our winter base in Scotland.
We also run guided adventures with an environmental conscience across Europe.
We look forward to meeting you soon.
