David Williams
Mountain Leader, Mountaineering and Climbing Instructor
David’s roots in Yorkshire gave him both a love for the outdoors and a spirit of determination that has shaped a lifetime of adventure. From completing long-distance challenges such as the Northern Traverse and the Dragon’s Back Race, to exploring wild landscapes on skis, bikes, and on foot, he has always been drawn to journeys that test both body and spirit.
Now a full‑time mountaineering instructor, David brings that same passion to his guiding. Whether he’s introducing beginners to the basics of movement on rock, building confidence on mountain paths, or leading a team safely across snow and ice, his calm expertise ensures every day is safe, supportive and rewarding.
As a qualified Laissez-faire coach, David goes beyond summits and milestones. He believes adventure is as much about connection as achievement — with the landscape, with those you travel alongside, and with yourself. Grounded in the values he learned growing up in Yorkshire — hard work, good humour, and the joy of simple moments — he shares journeys that inspire confidence, build resilience, and create memories that last long after the boots are off.
