What do I do

I'm a UK Mountain Leader, International Mountain leader and Rock Climbing Instructor. What does this mean? The UK Mountain Leader award trains and assesses mountain professionals to safely lead people in mountainous terrain within the UK. The International Mountain Leader is a further qualification that trains and assesses people to perform these same activities with the added inclusion of winter snow-shoeing around the world. I am also a Rock Climbing Instructor. This qualifications enables me to teach rock climbing and abseiling. Alongside these awards I have skied, hiked and climbed around the world in a personal capacity for over 20 years.
