ABOUT ME
MATT JONES
"Hello, and Welcome! Croeso!
About Me?
I started climbing as a teenager in the 1980s. Climbing became an obsession. I took a year out of university to focus on climbing, and began working as a Climbing Instructor over 20 years ago in Spain. Am still on my year out!
I have since worked all over the world, with many different organisations, including some of the most influential adventure training providers: National and Local Outdoor Education Centres; World Challenge; UK+UAE Military and Special Forces; Outward Bound; the Oil and Gas Industry (Mountain Safety).
