Mountaineering and Climbing Instructor, International Mountain Leader
John’s love for the outdoors was fostered whilst growing up; by both family holidays and youth outdoor programmes. An adventure in a mountainous arena was never far away. This passion was nurtured into a career after a spell as an accountant in Hull! Therefor he knows how precious time in the mountains is and is passionate that your trip exceeds your expectations. His adventures and expeditions have seen him climb, ski, trek and fly (paragliding) on 6 continents!
Mountaineering and Climbing Instructor, International Mountain Leader
Hi, I’m Anna! Growing up in the Scottish Highlands, the mountains have always been a huge part of my world. My greatest happiness always comes from sharing mountain experiences with others, including the wide spectrum of emotions that are felt along the way. Excitement, apprehension, challenge, exhaustion, exhilaration, fear, overcoming, and total happiness. It is a huge privilege to be able to introduce people to the magical world of climbing and mountaineering. Above all, I love being a part of that journey!
