William Skea’s Rock, Ski, Ice, and Mountain Guiding

About Me:

My name is William Skea. I’ve travelled around the world for the past 10 years as an aspirant rock, ski, ice, and mountain guide. I’m passionate about mentoring others, providing life-changing experiences through the outdoors, and motivating others to become more confident in themselves. At the beginning of 2020, I started an animal rescue charity in Sydney called ‘William Skea’s Animal Rescues’, where I rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome cats found to be victims of animal cruelty.  Through these guided trips, I can raise money for these animals where 100% of my income is donated to them.

Photography and Video

I always carry my camera with me on these trips so you can expect some great photos and videos of us climbing together. I just ask for prints to be purchased through me so I can ensure they are exposed and colour corrected correctly.
