My
aim is to provide a personal service that helps you get the most
out of your alpine experience, to ensure your safety and, above all,
your enjoyment. |

If you already have a specific route or venue in mind we could discuss the best way to tackle this and arrange an itinerary around it. Alternatively I can plan a programme to meet your particular objectives and to suit your skill levels and experience. You might want to focus on climbing specific peaks - such as classic four thousanders like Mont Blanc, the Matterhorn and the Jungfrau - or you might be drawn to a particular type of route - the snow and ice of north faces, airy rock ridges or mixed routes which involve a bit of everything. If you're an alpine novice you might want an introductory week to learn essential skills while tackling your first summits, or you might prefer to explore an area by taking a high-level walking tour, crossing glaciers and passes and travelling from hut to hut. |

If
you've got more experience, you might want some help perfecting
your leading skills, or perhaps you'd prefer to push your boundaries by
seconding a route that is at your technical limit.
Where: Although I have my home in the Chamonix Valley, I regularly
climb elsewhere in the Alps and am willing to meet you in the area of
your choice by arrangement.
When: mid-July to the end of August is high
season. This is when the crowds arrive but, apart from the most popular
routes, it is still possible to find some solitude. If you want to avoid
this busy summer period then May, June, September and October can offer
good climbing conditions and the possibility of using the winter rooms
of the excellent hut system. |
