WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Claire
- Intro to Navigation -
Chris is an excellent instructor — calm, knowledgeable and very encouraging. No question felt silly and the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. I learned more in one day than I expected. I contacted Chris based on a recommendation from friends who had been on a course with him before.
Rob
- Into to Multipitch Climbing -
This is my third course with Chris at At The Edge Mountaineering and every time has been excellent. I keep coming back because the instruction is clear, supportive and genuinely enjoyable. I've gone on to lead my own climbs and looking forward to joining Chris in Skye and doing the Cuillin Ridge at some point!
Mike
- Guided Scrambling -
I was nervous before my scrambling course but Chris made everything feel safe and achievable. I ended up doing things I never thought I could! (Crib Goch is still scary!) One of the best days I’ve ever had in the mountains.
