My name is Mark Keogh and I will be facilitating your Mountain Skills Course. I am a qualified Mountain Leader and have trained as a Mountaineering and Climbing Instructor through the Mountain Training Board in the UK.
Being in the mountains is my passion, and in recent years I have turned my focus to facilitating adventures and skills courses for others. It brings me complete joy to be able to pass on the skills I’ve learned to help others become competent in the mountains.
