A BIT ABOUT US
I grew up amongst the wild mountains of the North West Highlands, Scotland. As soon as I could walk, I was out in the mountains with my father, British Mountain Guide, Martin Moran. Throughout my life, all of my free time has been spent building a solid skill-base of walking, skiing and climbing with my dad and friends across Europe, North America and the Himalaya.
The mountains are a huge part of my life; a place where I find peace and harmony. It is for this reason that I embarked on the path to introduce other people to this special environment and give them new experiences in the mountains.
After six years of training and assessments, I qualified as a Winter Mountaineering and Climbing Instructor (WMCI) in 2013 and have enjoyed a varied career ever since. I have lived and worked as a geography teacher in Majorca and Costa Rica but my love for the mountains of home prevails. Now based in Scotland, I work in the mountains full-time helping people achieve their goals and become safer and more confident mountaineers and climbers.
I have had the pleasure of leading expeditions in the Indian Himalaya, taking clients on rock climbing trips in the UK and abroad, as well as winter adventures in Norway and Scotland. Having developed my coaching and mentoring skills as a Mountain Instructor over the last decade, I am lucky enough to share and explore awe-inspiring landscapes with those who accept the challenge.
While I personally lead many of our courses, I also work closely with a trusted team of experienced guides and instructors who share the same values and high standards. My aim is to help you achieve your goals through my patience and positive encouragement. Get in touch to share your climbing aspirations.
Together, we ensure every course delivers the kind of rewarding, inspiring experience we’re proud to offer. Get in touch to start the adventure!
OUR MISSION
At the heart of everything we do is a belief in the transformative power of the mountains. Our work is built on that foundation and our mission reflects it.
Vision
We know that mountains have the power to transform lives. They offer new perspectives, real challenge, and a deep sense of connection that endures long after we return to the valley. Our vision is to make those experiences more accessible, more meaningful, and more empowering for anyone ready to step into the mountains with purpose.
Mission
Our mission is to provide exceptional, year-round instruction in hiking, mountaineering, and climbing. We equip people with the tools, confidence, and knowledge they need to become safe, independent, and capable adventurers. Every course is built to be practical, challenging, and personal grounded in real experience, not just ticking boxes.
Values
We don’t just guide; we help you become the mountaineer we know you can be. That means:
Prioritising learning over leading
Creating space for growth, not pressure
Respecting the mountain environment and each other
Always being honest about risk, ability, and reward
Encouraging curiosity, independence, and long-term progression
