Jenny is Rob's wife and may be your first point of contact at High Mountain Guides when Rob is away up a mountain. She has a background in I.T. consultancy and runs her own business, 'React First', providing outdoor and sports First Aid Training. Jenny is a keen mountaineer and polar traveller herself and has rock climbed across Asia on a 'Hot Rock' trip, Ice climbed on Ben Nevis and recently traversed the Matterhorn.
- Jenny was part of the all female 'Arctic Foxes' team to make history by becoming first British all-female team to cross the Greenland ice-sheet. It took just sixteen and a half days, creating a new record. The four-strong team covered 650km from Kangerlussuak in the west to Ammasillik in the east, walking for up to 16 hours a day and dragging 50kg pulks behind them containing all their expedition kit.
- Jenny was also a 'Siberian Fox', when she and a friend travelled the length of Lake Baikal, Siberia, in February and March 2008. Sleeping in a tent on the ice , they used boots with spikes, ski’s and power kites to travel over the transparent ice of the frozen lake. Starting at Kultuk on the lake's southernmost shore, the pair arrived at Severobaikalsk in the north after 30 days on the ice having walked over 600km (roughly the distance from London to Inverness).
