I hold a Mountaineering Instructor Certificate (MIC). I am fully qualified to guide and instruct all aspects of mountaineering and climbing in the UK throughout the year. Also, I am a full member of the Mountain Training Association (MTA) and the Association of Mountaineering Instructors (AMI).

I love climbing and this passion has taken me all over the world, even to the summit of Mount Everest. I have also climbed in the Andes, as well as in the Alps, Norway and Canada. I reached the summit of Mount Everest on May 2001, as a member of the RAF Mountain Rescue Service Everest North Ridge expedition.

I first started mountaineering in Scotland with the RAF Mountain Rescue Service, over 20 years ago. Since then, I haven't stopped climbing and exploring new mountains in the UK and abroad. I have been a RAF Mountain Rescue Team Leader and also the Chief Instructor for 5 years. I have also climbed all the Munros, the Scottish peaks above 3000 feet.

I love climbing around North Wales and the rest of the UK. We have so many amazing climbing and scrambling spots to discover in this area! I enjoy taking my clients there for rock climbing, scrambling and mountain skills courses or for a guided day out.

We can set up a program according to your level and wishes. Contact me and we can start planning your next mountain adventure right away!

Dewi was amazing! Lots of patience for a first time hiking group of 5 girls. Motivational and happy to go at our pace. Highly recommended

Dewy was fabulous. Interactive, inclusive and obviously had safety at heart of his decisions. The communication through the site was hard work. The small print was mentioned regarding the inclement weather and and options around being unable to climb snowdon before any collaboration, disappointing

The guide John was amazing and very knowledgeable. Explore Share as the middle man service connecting customers to the guide was absolutely terrible and dismal. I absolutely will never recommend to any of my friends and will not use in the future when I return to Snowdonia.
