Alex Rh.

INSTRUCTOR

Alex cut his teeth from a young age on the limestone crags and exposed sea-cliffs of the South West but now lives up in the climbing paradise of North Wales. His enthusiasm for engaging people with the outdoors in a safe and responsible manner stemmed from observations during university years of widespread poor practice, vowing to act upon this to improve club safety and sustainability. Having worked in the outdoor industry since 2017, he continues to enjoy introducing people to climbing, hillwalking and mountaineering and still pinches himself at times this can be classed as a ‘job!’. He trains and assesses the next generation of Mountain Leaders working on NGB courses and also regularly works away from his home turf on the Skye Cuillin and rugged Scottish Highlands.

Coming from a biological sciences background, Alex is particularly in tune with the natural world and loves to share his impressive knowledge about the environment, flora and fauna on days out. He leads birdwatching and wildlife tours when not engaged in mountaineering work.
