I have completed a week’s rock climbing with Summit Mountain Skills. I started from absolute zero with no experience. Mick Jones is an exemplary instructor. Clear communication, patient, observant, safe and encouraging. I have organised to rebook Summit Mountain Skills for more training

George Grimes
What a week we had! Particularly in adverse weather conditions. Not only did we get some climbing on some outdoor crags Mick introduced all the skills needed to get outdoors on my own. His skills and knowledge of the best places to go (especially to avoid poor weather) really helped make the week an enjoyable one.
