ABOUT US
Mountain- skills is personally overseen by Ian Ridley who has over 35 years experience of walking and rock climbing. Not only in Scotland, the Lakes, North Wales and on Dartmoor, but also in the Alps, having summited Mont Blanc, the Matterhorn and the Eiger to name just a few well known alpine peaks. In the autumn of 2009 he climbed Ama Dablam (6856m) in the Himalayas and is attempting to climb Everest (8840m) in May 2010.
Ian is 46 years old, and has been walking since the age of the 11 when he first climbed Snowdon in the pouring rain. He wasn't put off by the wet weather and mist, only by the dreadful cagoule he had to wear- best described as a "nylon bin liner"!
