I have been rock climbing and hiking since 2008. Since that time I have continued my training and assessments in both hiking and climbing. I’m a member of a number of clubs and enjoyed informally training new members so I decided to get formal qualifications to allow me to be better at what I do. Rock Climbing Instructor, RCI was my first qualification. I now work as a qualified Rock Climbing Development Instructor, RCDI and Mountain Leader, ML, in Ireland. Mountaineering and Climbing Instructor MCI, is my next step.
I love climbing and the challenges and partnerships that come with the sport. My favourite hikes are those in ‘soft’ Irish weather, when the views appear like a miracle.
