Calum is an IFMGA qualified British Mountain Guide with over ten years of experience leading mountaineering and ski trips in challenging conditions and environments around the world, from Arctic Norway to the Southern Alps and Antarctica. Hailing from Eryri in Wales, Calum learnt his craft in the local mountains from an early age, becoming a professional rock climber and alpinist, whilst also qualifying as a rock and winter climbing instructor. He’s travelled and established difficult first ascents on peaks and rock faces in four continents. He now divides his time between his home areas of Wales and the French Alps. In his spare time, Calum enjoys paragliding, kayaking and playing the piano, as well as spending as much time as possible with his young family. He also works in areas of health research in Wales between the guiding seasons.
