The European Alps present some of the finest mountaineering
challenges on the planet. They're more accessible than ever
with cheap flights from all over the UK, and whether you want
to progress from Scottish winter walking to alpine snow peaks,
or from rock climbing to the broad skills of alpine mountaineering,
there are venues and objectives to suit everyone.
I'm
based in Chamonix and my front window looks directly at Mont
Blanc, the top of Europe at 4810m. From here, I climb throughout
the Western Alps (and sometimes beyond!), with special attention
on the area between Chamonix and Saas at the east end of the
Rhone valley. The high season for alpinism is in July and
August, but you can often climb here in June and September
and have the mountain to yourself!
I
offer a wide variety of itineraries and courses to suit all
tastes. Most courses last 6 days, from Sunday to Friday:
- Introductory
Alpine Mountaineering courses
- Technical
alpinism courses
- Private
guiding for that special route you've always wanted to do
Ratios
for alpine guiding vary. For introductory courses, it's 3:1.
Most intermediate peaks including Mont Blanc are at 2:1, and
some special climbs including the Matterhorn are at 1:1.
