As a Director of ISM, Adrian splits his time between guiding, the ISM office, family and climbing for himself. During his 25 year commitment to the team, Adrian has played a key role in the development of ISM.
Adrian's mountaineering and climbing experience is worldwide including over a hundred first ascents of virgin summits and rock climbs in Kyrgyzstan, major routes in the Mt Cook region of New Zealand, new routes in Alaska, rock climbing El Capitan in the Yosemite Valley, peaks in Nepal and 'Grande Courses' in the main alpine areas. Adrian has a passion for icefall climbing around the world, with a number of first ascents in the Canadian Rockies and Swiss Alps. Through all his climbing across the globe, Adrian has gained an incredible breath of knowledge and experience, and an enthusiasm and love for the mountains which has a great effect on the people who climb with him. When not travelling and sharing adventures abroad, Adrian spends his time in the ISM office and with his family or climbing and cycling at home in the Lake District.
Adrian is also Technical Director for the BMG (British Mountain Guides)
