Introduction	Sandy is a qualified International Mountain Guide and has guided world wide from gentle walks to technical climbs and 8000 meter summits, including Mount Everest where he was the fifth Scottish man to climb the mountain and also made the first ascent of Lhotse West summit. Sandy was the first Scot to climb Nanga Parbat in Pakistan and in 2012 he made the first ascent of the incredible Mazeno Ridge and has written a book ,"In Some Lost Place" about this expedition. Based in Newtonmore, Scotland he also spends a lot of time in Chamonix, France and many mountain places inbetween. Team Ascent is managed from our Newtonmore base. Sandy is also an IRATA assessor and Team Leader, providing assistance and consultancy services in difficult to reach and awkward "work at height" locations utilising techniques developed from his passion in climbing and mountaineering.

Interests	As a mountain guide I have a genuine desire to provide security in mountain adventure to allow people at all levels of ability (from beginner to the experienced) to enjoy the world's wild places.
