Climbing & Mountaineering has been my passion since I was 15. I turned this into a career after studying at Charlotte Mason College, Ambleside and have been Lakes based since. Instructing and guiding in summer and winter has been a great excuse to travel to all continents apart from Antarctica, made up for by many trips to arctic Greenland. I joined LAMRT during covid which afforded the time to put into the rigorous training needed as an aspirant. I live in Ambleside with my wife and three teenage daughters and have recently taken on the role of Fell Top Assessor for LDNPA.
