Hi I am Mel!

I'm your coach and instructor at MB Mountain Adventures.

​

​

 

In short, I'm the one that keeps you happy, safe and attached to something on every trip. (That's the important bit).

 

I have been running MB Mountain Adventures for 7 years now, and in that time we've not only just climbed our socks off, but bouldered our way through Fontainbleau Forest, ice picked our way through the Sierra Nevada and Chamonix and trekked our way up the Atlas Mountains.

 

I've loved climbing ever since I was 13 years old. An adventurer at heart (and deeply allergic to school at the time) I never stopped and years on I'm a qualified Climbing Instructor, Mountain Leader and Climbing Coach.


CWI, CWDI, RCI, ML, CL, FCA, DCA RCDI, Life Coach & Aspirant GB Physical Profiling Coach

 

I'm deeply passionate about showing others how to climb too, and showing them what the outdoors can offer them. As an instructor there is no better feeling than seeing faces at the end of a trip that say 'Wow, did I just do that?'. I love to challenge people and help them to grow, so whether you are a beginner looking for your first taste of outside climbing, or whether you're looking for a more epic kind of adventure - I can't wait to meet you and get our climb on!
