Currently working as technical officer for Mountain Training UK where I oversee the Mountaineering Instructor qualifications (MIA and MIC) and the International Mountain Leader award, and also as the Development Officer for the Association of 
Mountaineering Instructors.
Both of these are part-time roles, leaving plenty of time for personal projects and climbing. I feel strongly that you have to earn the right to work in outdoor activities, by constantly pushing yourself and having your own adventures "on the hill". I am qualified as a mountaineering instructor (MIC) and as an International Mountain Guide (IFMGA) and I prefer to mix these by coaching in adventurous environments. Although I never set out to have a career I've been very lucky to arrive in a place that looks very similar to a career path! Highlights have included seasons working in the Antarctic with the British Antarctic Survey, followed by oil survey work in Spitsbergen, several years as head of London Borough of Hillingdon Youth Service's outdoor centre and a long stint as Senior Instructor at Plas y Brenin, the National Mountain Centre.
More recently (7 years ago!) I was elected as chair of a working party within the International Union of Alpine Associations (UIAA), whose role was to accredit leadership and teaching qualifications for mountaineering activities. This is a voluntary role that has grown over the years and some aspects of it have become professional as I realised that the scale and scope of inspecting qualifications around the world was not sustainable or justifiable without a proper business plan and professional validators. We have been building up a team and a professional inspection system over the last few years, as well as attracting sponsoring charities on board to help develop training programmes in countries with less available cash, notably in Asia and Africa. Within the last 12 months this project has involved work in Russia, Slovenia, New Zealand, Chile, India, Nepal, Serbia. Croatia, Switzerland, Turkey, Norway, Italy and Catalonia among others - it really has been an amazing project and looks set to continue developing.
I still climb twice a week in summer and winter and am a keen skier. Its been a bit of a battle to get back to full fitness after a few years working in an office, but this year I've been able to lose several pounds in weight and get back on form. I'm currently on-sighting at about E5 and 7a+ and intend to push my grade with some sport climbing projects as well (not sure I have the patience or the time for multiple attempts at routes though, so it will require a bit of discipline). Last winter we had amazingly good ice in Wales and I was able to swing leads on some great first winter ascents in the outlying areas of Snowdonia, as well as classics such as the Devil's Appendix in Cwm Idwal. I'm also a keen skier and managed to combine avalanche safety training with some great off-piste in la Grave and in Austria this winter.
