I am a Rock Guide who can guide Nationwide and would also like to offer Guided trips worldwide
Multipitch Rock Guiding- This could be climbing your first multipitch or a guided rock ascent. If you would like to do something like Dream Of White Horses It is always preferable to have a day in preparation in a less adventurous setting to be able to assess ability. Or at least a little get to know you before!
Rock Climber Improvement Courses- this would be based in the Peak District focusing on basic skills in a single pitch environment. This would include learning how to tie in, belay, read the guidebook, learn how to rock climb. I would be leading everything to give you the best idea of how to go traditional Rock climbing in the UK which will give you a good foundation and be able to put into context how a rock climbing journey works.
Learn to Lead I would build skills up appropriately to your experience and skill level and then would decide the best way to get you on the Sharp end. This works best as a 2:1 ratio with me teaching by the side of you.
Scrambling. This could be to enjoy the freedom of going scrambling in the UK or preparing you for an Alpine Trip. As a member of the British Mountain Guides I would be able to refer you to a fully qualified IFMGA guide if you are wanting to climb an alpine summit or route. I would be able to prepare you very well and give you a good indication of what is needed for your objective and to match you to your fully qualified Alpine Guide there are tonnes of legends here https://www.bmg.org.uk/find-a-guide/
Self Rescue course. I would be able to show you the fundamentals of self rescue which will include practical skills and being able to tie off a plate, escape the system, counterbalance abseil, hoisting techniques. I aim to give you the fundamentals before going to a crag and practicing this for real with the safety of a rope above!
Guided Classic and Hard Rock routes
My day rate is £300 for Rock Guiding in the UK for 1:1/2:1 ratio. I only do group work on special occasions for families this is the same day rate. Please ring me on 07583413905 or drop me an email to [email protected]. The ratios and prices can be talked about further depending on what you would like to do. I am more than happy to talk about different plans and more than happy to help. Any sort of corporate group or School work will be most likely be referred onto a bigger organisation able to deal with the numbers/insurance/licensing and accommodation.
