When I first met Stuart 4 years ago I had done a number of fairly non technical peaks around the world and wanted to improve my technical skills. Stuart introduced me to rock climbing in Wales and Scottish Winter climbing, which took my technical ability, especially climbing rock to a totally different level. What I really appreciate about Stuart is the fact that he is an amazing climbing coach and not just a guide. He takes the time to advise you technically, tests you and builds your confidence by pushing you just hard enough. Within a very short space of time I was climbing some of the toughest peaks in the alps with loads of confidence. On top of this he is a great guy to spend time with and I always have loads of fun when we go climbing together. Highly recommended !

I did training (Rock Climbing Instructor) with Stu in May 2019 and he's got a wealth of knowledge and experience and you were given space to find what works best for you. Simon lead the course and was really good, with a calm and relaxed approach. Stu comes with an exciting CV of his climbing and expeditions and you can't help but feel psyched for new adventures after spending time with him and the other people on the training. I'd highly recommend Stu for training, assessment or guidance or tuition in the hills and mountains, here's to getting out again, Thanks, Ian
I went ice climbing with Stu in Norway earlier this year and it was fantastic! Stu came across very clear and professional (as well is being very patient!) when it came to technical instruction. The lines he suggested for climbing (leading and seconding) were great as they helped me improve on my previous ice climbing experience. Stu's wealth of experience really does come through when he suggests the most subtle changes in climbing technique (and tweaks in equipment) which take you to new level! Hope to to climb with Stu some time soon again.
I met Stu on a beginners ice climbing course in Rjukan, Norway. Not only was it my first visit to Norway it was also my first attempt at water ice climbing. With a full two day itinery we covered every aspect of how very different climbing on ice was in comparison to the limited amount of winter mountaineering I had experienced. Stu has a fantastic calm and unflappable manner, with clear friendly direction, a great sense of humour and always happy to share the little tips that made the whole experience truly remarkable. Covering grades up to WI5 I amazed myself as to what I could achieve in such a relatively short time. Stu's advice didn't end in Norway, before I had even flown home I was already planning a winter climbing trip to Glen Coe, as I had left it rather late to find a guide Stu put me in touch with dozens of guides until I found one who was free on the dates I had free. Even though he was not directly involved in that trip he still stayed in touch to see how I got on and if I had enjoyed myself. For someone to be so generous with their time is such a rare thing these days, and i cannot wait until the Winter season is upon us once more and without hesitation I will call upon Stu to drag me up some new and testing routes. A true gent, and an excellent guide.
Stu did a 3 day Rock Climbing Instructor (RCI) training in Llanberis on 1st of December until the 3rd with me and three others. The course itself was done in a great manner. During my time on the course I was given invaluable information which helped me improve my own skills! Stu has great knowledge and you can see this in his work.
