Hi, I'm Jamie, a Bristol-based Mountaineering and Climbing Instructor with over 25 years of climbing experience.

I climb in a broad range of disclipines; sport, traditional, winter, alpine, scrambling and even dry tooling. I also love simply getting out in the hills and countryside, running, walking and biking.

I specialise in affordable, workshop-style courses designed to build skills, fill knowledge gaps and build confidence and independence. Whether that's taking your climbing outdoors, developing trad skills or preparing for bigger adventures such as multipitch climbs abroad.

As a qualified Mountaineering and Climbing Instructor MCI and full member of the Association of Mountaineering Instructors (AMI), I maintain high professional standards through ongoing CPD training.

I’m passionate about sharing the local climbing areas I know and love, tailoring courses to each client’s goals while keeping travel environmentally conscious.

Testimonials

From Jack-

Great workshop, Jamie is super knowledgeable and has lots of useful tips and tricks to make the processes more efficient. There was ample time to practice all the techniques and it was good to have a safe and controlled environment to practice in. Highly recommend!

From Sarah-

Jamie was really calm and clear in his teaching approach and we covered lots during the day, without it feeling overwhelming. I've definitely come away feeling that I've learned some of what there is to know about abseiling and self-rescues and it's been a good foundation in building my confidence to try stuff out again in the future.
