Staff Team


...the strength of the team is each individual member...
I organise and deliver all of the expeditions, activities and courses on offer, however, from time to time I may require a fellow staff member to work alongside me, or step in if I am already busy; Personally selected, this person will be a good friend, fellow outdoor professional, and trusted colleague, who shares the same vision, values and passions for the outdoors as I.

Every member of the Staff Team can foster the perfect environment for you to flourish and succeed. They are the very best in the industry and between them have experience of delivering expeditions and providing mountaineering and paddlesport tuition in over 50 countries, across all 7 continents.
