AMI MIC
Je suis titulaire d'un certificat d'instructeur d'alpinisme (MIC). Je suis pleinement qualifié pour guider et enseigner tous les aspects de l'alpinisme et de l'escalade au Royaume-Uni tout au long de l'année. Je suis également membre à part entière de la Mountain Training Association (MTA) et de l'Association of Mountaineering Instructors (AMI).
J'aime l'escalade et cette passion m'a conduit dans le monde entier, même au sommet du Mont Everest. J'ai également grimpé dans les Andes, ainsi que dans les Alpes, en Norvège et au Canada. J'ai atteint le sommet du Mont Everest en mai 2001, en tant que membre de l'expédition Everest North Ridge du RAF Mountain Rescue Service.
J'ai commencé l'alpinisme en Écosse avec le service de secours en montagne de la RAF, il y a plus de 20 ans. Depuis lors, je n'ai cessé de grimper et d'explorer de nouvelles montagnes au Royaume-Uni et à l'étranger. J'ai été chef de l'équipe de secours en montagne de la RAF et également instructeur en chef pendant 5 ans. J'ai également escaladé tous les Munros, les sommets écossais de plus de 3000 pieds.
J'adore grimper dans le nord du Pays de Galles et dans le reste du Royaume-Uni. Nous avons tellement de sites d'escalade et de scrambling à découvrir dans cette région ! J'aime y emmener mes clients pour des cours d'escalade, de scrambling et de techniques de montagne ou pour une journée guidée.
Nous pouvons mettre en place un programme en fonction de votre niveau et de vos souhaits. Contactez-moi et nous pourrons commencer à planifier votre prochaine aventure en montagne dès maintenant !

Great friendly guides with plenty of knowledge. They offered extra clothing and water, asked and organised several stops, we had several different types of climbers - those who are experiences and those who's this was a first experience, different fitness levels etc so they was able to separate and support the group accordingly. I would highly recommend Derry and Conor to anyone who was asking for a guide.

We did our trip with Andy who's one of the guides working with Richard. Andy was fantastic - very knowledgable, experienced and patient. It was 5 of us and we've all had a great time despite different levels of experience. The climb was overlooking the valley which was used for Game of Thrones filming. Highly recommend to anyone looking for North Wales climbs.

My partner and I had Gareth as our guide and he was brilliant. His knowledge and history of the mountains made for good conversations and his endurance and patience was greatly appreciated on our climb. We didn't know what to expect but Gareth guided us on the path we were taking going up and the other path we would take descending down. I found it challenging at times but Gareth was always patient and truthfully reassuring on the types of steepness we faced and was able to put time/kilometres on it too, which encouraged me to push myself. He was very welcoming to small breaks and also kindly captured pictures and videos of me and my partner as we climbed, which is nice to look back on. Overall, I highly recommend this service. As first time climbers, the Rhyd Ddu path was challenging but so worth it as it was a beautiful, quieter path to climb. I specifically booked this service as a birthday surprise for my partner and loved the fact we were not part of a group and were able to enjoy the experience together. Keep up the great work and I'll be sure to pass on these details to anyone interested in climbing. Regards, Eleasha.

We booked with SW&C for the North Ridge on Tryfan, with the goal being to let my 12 year-old daughter climb a mountain in the UK that you can’t walk to the top of. I’m so glad we did. We had the best day out despite the classic Welsh weather, and our guide made the whole thing totally stress-free, including navigating with visibility down to 10 feet or so at some points, taking loads of photos of us, showing the easiest moves for the “crux” and having a generally encyclopaedic knowledge of the mountain and related areas in general. I can’t recommend SW&C highly enough!
