Simon Pearce

Simon’s love of the outdoors began in Cubs where he always enjoyed exploring. Some twenty years later he rediscovered his love of the outdoors, and in particular map reading. Short, local hill walks quickly turned into longer and more adventurous days out as he found higher and more exciting things to climb. A few outdoor courses later and Simon went on to gain numerous leadership and coaching qualifications in mountaineering and paddlesports.

Today, Simon works full time in the outdoors running his own mountaineering business, based in North Wales but operating around the UK. His personal mountaineering career has seen him climb mountains on four continents, but he mostly loves exploring what we have here in the UK.

Simon particularly enjoys working with those new to the outdoors and is passionate about passing on outdoor skills to others. He’s a provider and course director for Mountain Training and delivers their Hill and Mountain Skills courses in Eryri (Snowdonia) and the Peak District. He also loves teaching map reading and compass skills as a provider and course tutor for the National Navigation Award Scheme.
