Jonny’s passion for the mountains started where (and when) he grew up on the West Coast of Scotland. As many have found before and since the Scottish Highlands are an exacting yet superb place to serve a mountaineering apprenticeship resulting in many tough, talented and ‘wily’ mountaineers, like Jonny! After many years of rock climbing in Glencoe and ice climbing on Ben Nevis Jonny now lives in the Arve Valley, French Alps.
