ABOUT AMI
AMI is the representative Association for qualified Mountaineering Instructors. All of our Members are independent, and either run their own businesses or work for larger organisations. We list them here so you can find them easily and see what they have to offer.
Depending on the nature of the course or activity you should expect to pay upwards of £200 per day for the services of a Mountaineering Instructor. Remote areas, winter conditions, long routes and specialist experience are just some of the factors that may justify a higher daily rate.
Ratios vary greatly depending on the grade or nature of the terrain but an instructor/client ratio of 1:1 or 1:2 is typical for rock climbing, winter climbing and scrambling in mountainous environments. In some circumstances a higher ratio is possible, such as a larger group size at a lower and less remote venue. Maximum ratios for these days are determined by the instructor.
Select your instructor and contact them directly to make your enquiries.
Hi, I'm Luke, I'm a Rock Climbing Instructor and Mountain Leader currently based at Calshot Climbing Wall in Southampton. Currently developing my sport climbing and technical advisory portfolio and route setting as a Wall Supervisor here. Coaching is an exciting prospect within climbing, and I am avid in pursuing people's best abilities, whoever that might be. Experienced in working with all ages and abilities; beginners to intermediate climbers and all levels of NICAS.
I was inspired at an early age by the Everest exploits of Bonington Scott Haston et al and this set me on the path to become a mountaineer.After various exploits during my time at University I was able to access more in the way of formal training whilst in the Army and this led first to trips to Scotland in the Winter then to the Alps and ultimately to an expedition to climb Archangel Ridge on Mount Foraker in Alaska.My final job in the Army was as the Manager of an Adventure Training Centre in the Bavarian Alps where over the course of three winters I discovered Ski Touring in addition to mountaineering and climbing.On leaving University I qualified as a teacher of Mathematics and Outdoor Activities at Bangor University in North Wales where I was also able to start working through the various Mountain Training schemes.I was fortunate in being able to find my dream job teaching primarily Mathematics but also Outdoor Pursuits at a boarding school in the Scottish Highlands a job I am still very actively enjoying.In recent years I have also started working as a freelance Mountaineering and Climbing Instructor and Winter Mountain Leader during the school holidays and weekends and really enjoy this additional opportunity to pass on my love of Scottish mountains and crags. In March 2023 I also completed my Winter Mountaineering and Climbing Instructor training course. This qualification has long been an ambition of mine but Covid put plans on hold for a while.

Ive been an MCI since 2003 and a climber for even longer. I love the outdoors and run and cycle as well as climb as often as life allows.
Having gained my Mountain Leader Award in 2002 I have been actively working in the outdoors for many successive years. Whenever I feel skills fade starting to set in I move on to the next level of qualifications. I have thoroughly enjoyed the process of going through the qualifications then consolidating my skills both through working in Outdoor Education centers and leading overseas expeditions.
At University I loved to study and I ended up with a BSc & PostGradCert - this took me to teaching for 14 years. I do love teaching but I was never fulfilled until I discovered that I could teach climbing and mountaineering as a career. My proudest achievements therefore were gaining my Summer (MIA/MCI) and Winter (MIC/WMCI) Climbing and Mountaineering Instructional Awards. I am now in my happy place when I am teaching or guiding people to climb or mountaineer safely for themselves. I have the dream job - theres nothing better than to share my passion and experience with other people to help them discover and build on theirs.

Ive loved the outdoors since I was a child enjoying walks with my parents along the coasts and over the moorlands of Devon and Cornwall. Once I left for University I discovered a love for climbing as well. This has taken me all over the UK and Europe. In 2010 I decided I could no longer face spending the rest of my life in an office despite enjoying the work and signed up to the Mountain Leader Award. This and my personal experiences with friends at work and at the university club enabled me to get onto the Centre Assistant Scheme at Plas Y Brenin where I worked through the other awards and skills required to become a full time instructor.

I have worked as a Glacier Guide (Franz Josef) in New Zealand Coasteering and Rock climbing Guide in Dorset and Mountain Leader across all of the UK National Parks.

I think that my belaying rope work gear placing and general problem solving are to a high standard on the crag. I have done extensive amounts of winter climbing/walking and scrambling in very wet cold conditions.

I am an active climber and climbing instructor with a comprehensive knowledge of UK climbing both summer and winter. I also know how to have a laugh. Cheers. H
Ive now been climbing for around twelve years in which time climbing has developed from a hobby into a lifestyle. In the past few years Ive made my home among the mountains in North Wales where I work as an Mountaineering Instructor. Now I work and travel to climb whether its in the UK Europe or further afield.My greatest experiences outdoors have been pushing my limit on sport climbs in the Frankenjura attempting an unclimbed big wall in Brazil and walking a very fine line on Indian Face at Cloggy.
I moved to North Wales in 1991 (when I was 21) and immediately discovered Mountains! Before this I lived in Leicester and worked in an office - so the location and the job limited my opportunities somewhat! I realised they were a great places to go for personal enjoyment and also to use to engage with the groups I was working with. My first job in North Wales was with young adults with learning difficulties (for MENCAP). I have worked in various social worker type roles since then for both public and private sector and have continued to use the outdoor environment to engage with people. I now travel all over the world regularly taking groups up Kilimanjaro and into the High Atlas mountains of Morocco as well as running and supporting various courses in beautiful Snowdonia.Working in such a wonderful place and being able to share my passion and respect for the mountains makes me feel really fortunate!
I am a full time instructor living in the mountains of North Wales with my wife Kate and our 4 children. I have climbed around the world and seen many beautiful places but love living and working in the mountains of Snowdonia.I took up rock climbing as a teenager and have been climbing ever since. I love adventurous climbing favourite rock climbs are routes like the Old Man of Hoy big multi pitch routes on Cloggy or Gogarth. Winter Climbing for me captures the adventure element that I love the short days sunsets cold crisp air and the uncertainty of catching the routes in condition all combine to give a magical experience. Trips to the Alps manage to combine the best of each warm sunny rock blue skies soaring snow aretes and steep ice - often all in one day! I have been lucky enough to climb classics like the Matterhorn Frendo Spur North Face of the Grande Jorasses Mont Blanc and many more. I visit the Alps for fun with friends a couple of times each year for ski mountaineering and climbing and have also climbed in the States Norway the Himalaya Africa and across Europe.
Most of my life Ive been an engineer and product designer working to go climbing. I have done many alpine rock routes primarily in the Dolomites become involved with cascade ice climbing created an accommodation business in the Dolomites (Casa Alfredino) worked on climbing equipment designs (notably the WC Friend Edelrid Bulletproof HMS and a line of Skylotec equipment) and generally enjoyed being in the climbing mountaineering and skiing scene. Now I aim to pass on what Ive learned to the next generation helping people who have discovered climbing through bouldering walls get outside and fall in love with that too.
