I am a British Mountain Guide, originally from the Lake District, UK. I was introduced to the outdoors. by my parents, and have been obsessed with climbing since I was a teenager. I chose to make guiding my career to share that passion with others.

I qualified as an IFMGA Mountain Guide in 2023, and now split my time between the Chamonix Valley and the UK, with regular trips further afield. To give you a flavour of the experiences we could have, here are five of my best days of guiding:

• Ski touring on Storstolpan, Kvaløya (Arctic Norway)

• East Ridge of Aoraki Mount Cook (New Zealand)

• Climbing Prophecy of Drowning, Pabbay (Outer Hebrides, Scotland)

• SW Ridge Cholatse, Khumbu (Nepal)

• Eiger via Mittellegi Integrale (Switzerland)

I also occasionally write articles for UKClimbing.com - the world’s most popular climbing website. I am also the Marketing Officer for the British Association of Mountain Guides; responsible for equipment, partnerships and publicity.
