WHY BOOK WITH ALEX?
The best mountain experiences happen in small groups. That's why I keep ratios low across all my courses, allowing for more individual coaching, greater flexibility and a safer, more enjoyable day in the mountains.
I grew up in the Highlands in a guiding family, and mountains have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. With over 20 years of guiding and teaching experience in the UK's most demanding mountain environments, I bring expert instruction together with a relaxed, supportive approach. Whether you're developing winter skills, tackling a classic scramble or planning a private mountain objective, you'll get personal attention tailored to your goals and ability.
Low ratios mean less waiting, more learning and more time spent enjoying the mountains. It's a simple approach, built on years of experience, that creates better days out and helps you get more from your time outdoors.
Guided Mountain Adventures in Scotland and Beyond
The mountains have shaped my life, and I love sharing that passion with others. Join me for mountaineering, scrambling, climbing and hiking adventures across Scotland's most spectacular landscapes, or venture further afield to Norway and Spain for unforgettable summer and winter experiences.
From the rugged peaks of the Cairngorms and Skye to the dramatic mountains of Europe, every trip is carefully planned to offer a rewarding balance of challenge, learning and adventure. Whether you're taking your first steps into the mountains or looking to develop advanced skills, I'll help you build confidence and make the most of your time outdoors.
Explore my upcoming courses, trips and guided adventures, and let's start planning your next mountain journey.
