Welcome
Here you’ll find a bit about me and my climbing, details on the courses and services I provide or maybe just some interesting blog content.
Have a look around and feel free to get in touch if you’ve got any questions.

Climber and Outdoor Professional based in North Wales UK with 15 years of climbing experience
For me, climbing is a lifestyle; I travel around the world to climb and when I’m not on the rock I coach people remotely and write and talk about climbing to inspire others.
My focus as a Mountaineering and Climbing Instructor is sharing my passion, whether it’s introducing people to the mountains or developing the skills and performance of ambitious climbers. I guide, coach and instruct clients in the UK and overseas. I have experience working for Plas y Brenin, Rock and Sun and other reputable UK activity providers, but I primarily work with private clients that come to me directly for tailored courses.

More About Me
I found climbing when I was fourteen and instantly became a climber. I fell in love with the adventure and athleticism of climbing and have since fully immersed myself in the world of climbing. Climbing is now my work and my play; when I’m not working I spend months at a time climbing full-time and when I’m back at work I bring other people into my world through instruction, guiding and coaching.

I now have more than fifteen years of climbing experience and take every opportunity to escape ordinary life and pursue my passion. I have made my home among the mountains in North Wales where I work as an Mountaineering and Climbing Instructor. I have travelled overseas to climb in Europe, Turkey, India, Brazil, China and USA, but I can still find just as much adventure on the crags of the British Isles.

I am passionate about performance climbing and love finding my limit on the end of a rope. For me, the chance to share my passion and support other climbers in getting the most out of their climbing is a dream. As I live and breathe climbing, spend much of my time engaged in mental training, write about climbing and perform at high levels, I bring something unique to my work.
I’d like to thank DMM Climbing, Rab Equipment and Scarpa for supporting me; I’m fortunate to work with companies whose ethos I support and whose products genuinely help me get the most out of my climbing.

“For some reason, it felt as if the consequence no longer mattered—the dice had already been rolled, the outcome was no longer my concern, only the climbing.”
