Professional mountain guiding and mountaineering instruction

Whether you'd like to learn how to move safely and quickly through technical terrain, want guiding along a long complex adventure like the Skye Cuillin, or need some coaching to break into the next climbing grade, Phil Stevens Guiding can help you achieve your goals in the mountains.
As an aspirant British Mountain Guide and an MCI, I offer bespoke private guiding and instruction with objectives and content tailored to meet your needs. After all, everyone's different. If you'd like to talk more about your aspirations or make a booking, please get in touch.

Phil Stevens

Mountaineering Instructor and Aspirant British Mountain Guide

I’m a professional mountaineer, now based in Tromsø, Arctic Norway. I've also got strong ties near Oban in the West Highlands of Scotland. I've been a Mountaineering and Climbing Instructor for over a decade, and am an Aspirant IFMGA mountain guide through the British Mountain Guides scheme. Arctic Norway, the UK, the European Alps and Antarctica are the places I know best, but I'm always learning and exploring.
Phil Stevens Guiding is about finding clients who would like to build a longer-term, highly personalised guiding relationship. I believe you get a better guided experience when you choose a guide who knows what you've done, what you are capable of, and what inspires you in the mountains. Planning on just one day with me? No problem at all, you're very welcome - but I hope I can give you a mountain experience that makes you want to come back for more!

Adventures in the Mountains

Take a look at some of what I can offer from my base on the West Coast of Scotland. Watch this space for more international options, coming soon.
This year, travel is still something of a sticking point. I'm intending to be in Norway until July, when I will relocate to the European Alps for the summer. Feel free to contact me for more information about options, or to talk about making a booking.
