Mountain Instructor
Bren Whelan
Mountain Instructor (WMCI & IML)
I have spent 30 years teaching rock climbing, mountaineering, environmental education, skiing and scuba diving across the world. Closer to home, I have held the position of Director of Mountaineering at Tiglin, Ireland’s National Mountain Centre and I have also worked as an associate instructor at both Glenmore Lodge and Tollymore Mountain Centre (Scotland and Northern Ireland’s National Mountain Centres). Now, I am lucky to be based in the National Geographic ‘Coolest Place on the Planet to Visit’, and the home of Star Wars film locations in Ireland, County Donegal, where I guide people to unique places, and on unique ascents, at Malin Head, the number one signature point on Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way.
