As an experienced pilot and flight instructor, I naturally have an understanding of navigation, teaching and I am super passionate about sharing my knowledge, mountain survival mentality and love of nature with others. Unexpectedly retrenched during the COVID-19 pandemic, I chose to grasp it as the opportunity of a lifetime by relocating to the Drakensberg and creating the mountain life of which I have always dreamed of. I have also used this time to up-skill in order to be of better help to others in improving the quality of their lives.

Abandon your Fears
Embrace the Mountains

Sharing the science, art and love of movement for a lifetime of sustainable and optimal performance.

Mountain Abandon originates from a desire to move freely in nature and we aim to share this passion with others. Basically, everything comes down to a single simple conclusion – if you do not enjoy your training journey then your energy and time could be better spent elsewhere. So above all else, our coaches promote a fun outlook and sustainable training process which prioritises each athlete's long-term physical well-being. To perform your sport at the highest possible level is an amazing achievement, but to move optimally and comfortably in your chosen discipline and environment until an old age is perhaps an even greater accomplishment
