About Us
Hello! - We are Chris and Jenny Moore. We live just outside the Lake District and spend as much of our free time as possible climbing, walking, canyoning and exploring our favourite place! When not here we head further afield for adventures in Scotland, Wales or the Peak District with occasional forays to Europe and beyond! We feel very privileged to live where we do, and started MooreMountaineering to allow us to share time and experiences in the fantastic outdoor world with others.

I love climbing! I've been at it for coming up to 25 years and I just can't get enough of it. Brought up in the Lake District I have climbed extensively throughout the national park but also throughout the UK and abroad. From big wall climbing in Yosemite including El Capitan (3 times), tackling remote mountaineering routes in New Zealand, wild sea cliffs (Pabbay, Migulay, Gogarth etc) to stunning Lakes esoterica or savage scottish winter I have enjoyed dedicating myself to climbing and reaching personal highs of Trad E7, Sport F7c and Winter VIII. There are loads of great aspects to climbing but generally for me it boils down to having fun in amazing places with great people. This ethos extends to mountaineering, walking, canyoning, caving, canoeing and loads more! I love to share my passion and knowledge for mountain adventures with folk which is why I feel so privileged to work as a Mountaineering and Climbing Instructor, sharing fantastic days out with psyched people. I'm also currently training as a paramedic, so when not out in the hills I'm often found whizzing around in an ambulance!

I am a lover of all things outdoors, in particular climbing and swimming. Growing up in the Lake District with active parents meant I have always been exposed to the sense of adventure the outdoors can bring and this has continued into married life. Trained as an Early Years Primary teacher I have spent most of my career in teaching environments and after really getting into climbing when I got together with Chris I decided to do my Rock Climbing Instructor training and assessment. Whilst I choose to pursue climbing as a hobby predominantly and enjoy joining friends for exciting days in the hills and crags, I might also be involved in taking you out on the crag for a climbing adventure! If Chris is out climbing I might be the person behind an email exchange and I'm always happy to help with info or recommendations.
Qualifications: Rock Climbing Instructor. Open Water Level 3.
