      So incredibly lucky for a beautiful day out on the mountain with Mark. He was wonderfully accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure that I had the best day climbing possible. We were able to do a couple of classic routes and he was constantly sharing his local knowledge and climbing expertise. His familiarity with nearly every person we passed on the mountain showed his remarkable depth of commitment to the climbing community in Wales. I couldn't have asked for a better guide.

      Had a great time on a 5 day sport to trad course that Mark tailored to my needs. Mark was helpful and professional throughout and went the extra mile. His climbing knowledge and skills were unrivalled as was his ability to pass his knowledge on.
