About P600 Mountaineering

About Lee

Lee, a Shropshire native, began his mountaineering journey on the familiar slopes of The Wrekin, Long Mynd, and Stiperstones.

In 2019, he joined his local Ramblers group, later becoming a member of the Shrewsbury Mountaineering Club in 2023 and stepping onto the committee by 2025. Eager to build confidence in the hills, Lee completed the National Navigation Award Scheme (NNAS) Bronze and Silver levels, equipping him with the skills to safely lead walks and support others on the hill.

Now a qualified Summer Mountain Leader, Lee is trained to guide groups across the UK outside of winter conditions, including on low-grade scrambles where ropes aren’t required.

His ambitions don’t stop there—he aspires to achieve the Mountaineering and Climbing Instructor (MCI) award, which will allow him to instruct you in all aspects of mountaineering, including coaching trad and sport climbing, and leading all grades of scrambling. This will give you the freedom to explore the wildest and most remote parts of the UK with confidence. He also plans to pursue the Rock Climbing Instructor and Winter Mountain Leader qualifications to further broaden his expertise as he embarks on this journey.

Lee is deeply passionate about mental health and the positive impact of the outdoors on your wellbeing. As a trained Mental Health First Aider, he fosters a supportive and inclusive environment on every event, ensuring participants feel safe, seen, and empowered. With over a decade of experience as a qualified accountant in the corporate world, Lee brings a unique blend of professionalism and passion to his adventures. His events are not only fun and challenging but also rich in personal development—thanks to his background in coaching both technical and
interpersonal skills. You’ll likely come away having learned more than you expected—without even realising it.

Why P600 mountaineering?

Mountains can be classified in many ways—terms like Munro, Marilyn, Hewitt, and Wainwright each have their own criteria based on height, prominence, and location.

A P600 is a mountain with a prominence of at least 600 metres, meaning it rises distinctly from the surrounding terrain with a drop of 600 metres or more on all sides. These peaks also known as The Majors are mountains in the truest sense: distinct, dominant, and demanding.

Climbing a P600 is no small feat. Regardless of the route, you’re guaranteed a minimum of 600 metres of ascent, making each summit a genuine adventure.

At P600 Mountaineering, we embrace the challenge. We believe the most rewarding experiences come not from doing what’s easy—but from taking on what’s difficult, and thriving in the process.

Do I need a mountain leader?

Not necessarily —there’s no requirement to hire a mountain leader to enjoy the mountains. But choosing to head out with a qualified leader like Lee from P600 Mountaineering offers far more than just guidance. It’s about unlocking a richer, safer, and more inspiring experience.
