His favourite venues however are on the mountains and sea cliffs of North Wales where he has made ascents up to E5 6b.
- Rob has climbed and guided on 6 out of the 7 continents including making first ascents on Welsh rock, Scottish ice and new routes in the Antarctic winter, Kyrgyz Tien Shan and Pakistani Hindu Kush. He has climbed and ski toured extensively in the European Alps and led expeditions to the ‘Greater Ranges’ on peaks up to 7500m (Chinese Pamir, Nepalese & Indian Himalaya, Argentinean Andes, Pakistani Karakorum, Moroccan High Atlas & Antarctic Ellsworths and Peninsula). He had recently just returned from guiding a 'Ski South Pole' expedition.
