MEET SUMMIT GUIDES TEAM LEADERS
We are a small, close-knit team of qualified professionals, with proven experience at the sharp end – in mountains ranging from the North face of Ben Nevis in winter, to the frozen ice deserts of Antarctica, to the summits of the world’s tallest 8000m peaks. Summit Guides leaders are recognised faces within the UK outdoor industry, often with over 10 years experience, carefully selected for their hill sense, focus on client needs and personable approach.
Your leaders are the backbone of our trips. In a Jan 2022 survey, 75% of respondents rated the personal approach of our leaders as the thing they value the most from Summit Guides trips.
