What I Offer

Mountaineering & Rock Climbing

Safe, accessible adventures for beginners, improvers and anyone who wants to build confidence in the hills or on the rock.

Alongside my coaching and leadership work, I offer professionally guided hillwalking, mountaineering and rock-climbing experiences for individuals and small groups. As a Qualified Mountain Leader (summer and winter) and Rock Climbing Instructor, I support people at all stages of their outdoor journey, whether you're taking your first steps into the mountains or developing your climbing and navigation skills.

These experiences are designed to build confidence, competence and enjoyment in the outdoors.

What I Offer?

Perfect for beginners or indoor climbers wanting to experience the outdoors for the first time. Learn:
- movement basics
- belaying
- communication on the crag
- safety awareness
- confidence and technique
Indoor sessions can be delivered at Redpoint Bristol, where I also work as a freelance instructor.
Take your climbing beyond the wall and onto real rock. You’ll learn:
- outdoor climbing systems
- tying in, anchors and rope management

- fundamental safety skills
Experience classic UK mountains with a qualified and experienced leader.

- suitable for individuals, pairs or small groups
If you want to go climbing or walking but don’t have a partner or the confidence to go alone, I can be that partner.
Ideal for those training towards Mountain Leader or simply wanting to feel more confident navigating. We’ll cover:
- map and compass skills

For improvers who want to progress skills, refine technique, or enjoy a structured climbing day in places like:

These days can be relaxed and exploratory or more focused and technical, depending on your goals.
I offer fun, confidence-building climbing and abseiling sessions for:

- friendship groups
- stag and hen weekends
These are fully insured, safety-managed and designed around your group’s needs.

Who is This for?
