I have been climbing for over twenty years, all over the world, achieving E4 tradition routes, 7B sport routes, 7C Boulder problems & putting up 1st ascents. I have a passion for Climbing in all it forms, putting up 1st ascents and running off to the mountains to play.

​

My world of the outdoors started at a young age with bikes which has now helped me grow into a well rounded, experienced instructor. Later finding climbing which 'roped me in' and the buzz is still going. I also spends a lot of time in the water surfing & running off to the mountains for adventures big and small.

 

Currently holding Mountain Training accredited Rock Climbing Instructor, Mountain Leader, Climbing Wall Development Instructor, Climbing Wall Instructor & MIAS accredited Mountain Bike Leader Level 2 qualifications, I am continuing to work my way up the qualifications ladder, towards MCI (the UK’s highest rock climbing & summer mountaineering award). At the same time,  I am also working his way through the climbing coaching awards.

 

I believe that a climbing instructor should be enthusiastic and passionate about all types of climbing….. I believe I am both of these things! I loves to be out on real rock, sharing my excitement with others.

​

In addition to climbing/guiding, I keeps up to date with current practices through my own continual professional development. I enjoys adventuring on both Exmoor and Dartmoor, both socially and professionally, and assist local centres with their safety, set ups & operations. I also finds time to help people achieve their own climbing, walking & navigation qualifications & goals.
