About Chris Plant Mountaineering

I have been climbing for the last 40 years. I started my mountaineering adventures with my local Scout group in Derbyshire and continued to enjoy all of the outdoor activities the scouts offered throughout my younger years. As a teenager and young adult, I progressed to climbing, walking and bouldering in the Gritstone and limestone crags of the Peak District and Yorkshire. I had discovered my passion for all things adventure and took every opportunity to travel to the Alps in Europe, Sierra Nevada in California and the Cascade Mountains in Washington State.

Throughout my adult life I have continued to combine my love of the mountains with education; spending the majority of the last 30 years as a teacher and climber. I have led expeditions to Bolivia, Russia and the Artic amongst other places to share the benefits of being in the outdoors for both body and mind.

Testimonials

“First and foremost, Chris is a pleasure to spend time with in the mountains, which is a must, in my mind, for anyone in his trade. He has the ability to put you at ease even when he is assessing your skill or providing feedback. I have come across many leaders and instructors in the mountain environment and there are none that I would rate as highly for technical ability balanced with an understanding of how to get the best out of the individual.”

Lt Col James Watson

“Everything that Chris does, is done with the upmost professionalism and safety is at the forefront of what he does. He also brings a huge amount of fun and enjoyment to the mountains. At no point during the skills course do you feel out your depth as everything is explained clearly and made fun to learn.

His enthusiasm for the outdoors cannot be matched in my humble opinion. The skills I have learnt will be with me forever making the mountains a safe and fun place to be for years to come. I will certainly be refreshing my skills with Chris and booking in with him to learn more.

In summary, awesome company, always fun and always safe. Book with Chris for an amazing experience.”

Toby Green

“Chris has mountains running through his veins and everything he does is done with complete professionalism and your safety is always a top priority. As Chris has been a mountaineer and is a member of a mountain rescue team he has a vast knowledge and understanding of all aspects of mountaineering and getting the best out of what’s on offer.

Chris is a great teacher and becomes your friend which makes learning and the experiences a joy.

I would definitely recommend Chris Plant Mountaineering Ltd due to his passion, enthusiasm, knowledge, zest for everything outdoorsy and doing everything to make your experience the best ever.”
