Pierre Jordaan

Pierre is an avid ultra-runner, a complete Drakensberg fanatic and a knowledgeable adventure guide. A mountain-lover at heart, there's nothing Pierre enjoys more than moving at altitude for extended periods of time. The longer and tougher a mountain mission becomes, the more in his element he is!

​

As an experienced pilot and flight instructor, Pierre naturally has an understanding of navigation and is passionate about sharing his map skills, mountain survival mentality and love of nature with others. Unexpectedly retrenched during the COVID-19 pandemic, Pierre chose to grasp it as an opportunity to pursue a more people-centred career. He is currently completing a degree in psychology, and plans to combine his passion for helping others with his knowledge of movement and coaching for enhanced mental and physical well-being.

​

Pierre brings a lot of personality, passion and experience to Mountain Abandon! His easy way with people and love for instructing make him a natural teacher with a flair for captivating the attention of his audience, and we're priveleged to have him a part of the Mountain Abandon team.
