I'm currently working as a mountaineer for an oil company in Kurdistan and have put together a blog post about it so far if you're interested.

It's certainly a little different from guiding people up Idwal Slabs and certainly a lot hotter than home in N Wales!

Cheers, it needs some editing, I was knackered when I wrote it...

I agree, that was interesting and a different role and environment than a normal mountaineering instructor job. Thanks for writing the article.

Cool. The guy on the right in the last picture looks distinctly like someone I know (Joel)! Am I right?

You are correct! He's just shipped out for his two week break, very jealous!
