Associate staff - petehillmic.com

We are very please to be associated with the following key staff members. All are of the highest calibre and have worked with us many times over the years.

Malcolm 'Ginge' Lee MBE, MIC.

Ginge has a huge amount of experience of working as an MIC. For many years he ran the RAF's fitness training programme and helped countless others to jump out of aeroplanes. He has since gone on to enjoy time out of the RAF, and divides his time between having fun and having fun climbing.
Ginge is a course director for ML and SPA training and assessment.

Jonathan Preston BMG, MIC

Jonathan is well known in climbing circles and is a prolific new-router, particularly in winter. He has climbed abroad extensively, and, as an IFMGA guide, spends the summer working in the European Alps.




Paula Griffin SPA

Paula is an all-round climber, but works mainly on our SPA training courses. Very happy climbing at crags in the UK, she is equally happy clipping bolts in the sunshine on European rock!



Di Gilbert MIC

Di is one of the most accomplished UK and Greater-Ranges mountaineers around. Apart from an extensive cv of routes in the UK, she has also completed the Seven Summits of the world.
With a degree in Outdoor Education, Di states her cv as being that she has 'somehow managed to stand on the bottom of the world without falling off and the highest point of the world without suffering too much from vertigo'.
Known for her big smile, she's rarely happier than when working with clients in the mountains.

Mark Chadwick MIC

Mark 'Chadders' Chadwick works for most of the year at Glenmore Lodge, Scotland's National Mountain Training Centre, and fills the rest of his time with freelance work and plenty of playing. He has enjoyed trips all over the world including India, America, South Africa, Morocco, Canada, Alps and more. He also dabbles in the dark art of kayaking (sea & river), as well as a bit of ski mountaineering. Mark is a course director for ML training and assessment.

Steve Bate SPA, MIA

Since fleeing his native New Zealand in search of proper climbing, Steve has been living and working in the UK. A boulderer of repute, he is always in search of that elusive final problem to 'send'!
