Stu McAleese joins Mountain Equipment's 'Pro Partner' team
Mountain Equipment have announced that British Mountain Guide - Stu McAleese - has recently joined their team of 'Pro Partners'. Stuart was an obvious choice to join their international team of climbers, adventurers, and Mountain Guides as, in their words:
"Stuart is one of the finest Alpinists in the UK today. An accomplished rock and ice climber he is a true all-rounder and a former nominee for the Piolet d' Or Award. Combining his rock and ice skills has led to Stu completing impressive first ascents of big walls and alpine faces in the mountains of both Alaska and Patagonia. A particularly memorable expedition was attempting to follow in the footsteps of Boardman and Tasker on Changabang's remote West Wall.
Since starting climbing at the age of 17 in the Lake District, his greatest ambition was to become an International Mountain Guide. He realised this dream in 2008, gaining his 'badge' after 3 years of rigorous training and assessment."
Stuart currently works as an instructor and Guide at the National Mountain Centre, Plas y Brenin.
We wish Stuart and Mountain Equipment both the very best for this mutually beneficial partnership.
