PROFILE

Welcome to Mountain Instruction which was started by me, Edward Kinnear.

Mountain Instruction provides personalised, high quality and inspirational mountain skills instruction and guiding in the English Lake District and throughout the U.K.

All instructors and guides employed by Mountain Instruction are fully qualified, experienced and enthusiastic. I personally hold an extensive range of professional outdoor qualifications including the Mountain Instructor Award, Winter Mountain Leader, APIOL and Canoe and Kayak Coach. I am also a full member of the Association of Mountaineering Instructors.

Edward Kinnear

The foundation for the quality of instruction provided is due to my near 20 years of playing and working in the outdoors with a wide variety of friends and clientele of all ages, needs and abilities. Having lived and worked in Sheffield, Fort William and the Lake District and climbed throughout Britain, my knowledge of the hills and mountains of this island is vast.

My thirst for adventure has also taken me over to continental Europe, Scandinavia, Morocco, Nepal and New Zealand.

Favourite outdoor moments.

The water cloughs of Kinder Scout, Peak District
Simple, lolloping rock scrambles onto a dome of messy black peat.

Bowfell Buttress, Langdale - VD
Lovely climb especially with the planned bivvy at half height.

Moss Gill Grooves, Scafell Crag - MVS
What a route and as it was climbed at 7 in the morning meant that nobody else was around. Wonder why?!.

Bludgers Revelation, Glen Coe - HVS
A superb route of character, history, variety, situation etc,etc.

Rigor Mortis, Castle Rock, Thirlmere - E2
All three pitches provide truely excellent climbing.

Curved Ridge, Glen Coe - II/III
In winter, this route overlooks a white blanket covering Glen Coe and Rannoch Moor.

Winter traverse of the Black Cuillin Ridge, Isle of Skye - IV
Two and half days of sheer wonder. No food dumps or support. Just sack, pack & go!

Water ice falls of Rjukan and Hemsedal, Norway - WI 2 > 5
The people, the country, the walk-ins. Difficult to beat.

South Island of New Zealand
An outdoor extravaganza. Every outdoor adventurer should visit at least once in their life.
