Reason:

Winter Mountaineering and Climbing Instructor

I have known and climbed with Colin for a number of years, since first tying on together to do The Last Post on Meggy (on which Col led the crux with ease). He is a highly competent mountaineer with a great depth of experience. Having spent time in the mountains with Colin both personally and professionally (on military time), I can wholeheartedly vouch for his steadiness under pressure, attention to detail and good humour, which make him a pleasure to be in the mountains with - particularly when things get challenging. Colin is one of the most psyched winter climbers I know and his passion for the Scottish mountains in winter (or indeed anywhere when it comes in!) shines through. I have no doubt that this passion, combined with his natural ability at passing on skills and instructing, will make him an excellent MIC.
