"He immediately put our small group totally at ease with his relaxed but totally professional manner. His knowledge of the terrain and his ability to know exactly how to manage our capabilities to get the best out of us as individuals, and yet work together as a team, is impressive."

"I'd highly recommend Jacob for challenging endurance activities. Working with a trusted, qualified mountain leader made my two Welsh 3000s attempts safe, stress-free and enjoyable. It allowed me to focus on the challenge and not have to worry about nav, route finding, and timings. A highly competent but chilled out mountain guide."
