It has been a great summer for me and all the hard work has paid off. I spent the 4 weeks after India, in the mountains of Snowdonia. I was climbing, mountaineering and getting to know the place as best I could. My final week there I was assessed as part of the IFMGA Guide Scheme and happy to report that I passed this first step. A massive thanks goes out to my clients I had this season, all the other candidates on the scheme and all my climbing partners and those willing to come out on the wettest of days. Couldn't have done it without you! Now I can look forward to the winter aspect of the British Guides Scheme, another training course followed by a 6 day assessment! Is it winter yet?
