We are owned, managed and operated by a team of vastly experienced IFMGA guides.
We believe in the mountaineering and climbing school mentality, delivering both skills and experiences to our clients, help them learn, develop and grow as independent mountaineers and achieving their own person goals and objectives whilst having an adventurous and fun experience.
Good mixture of progressive instruction and learning, climbing and guiding. We climbed some very good mountains from good huts and made the best of the mixed weather conditions. The course also used a range of situations and locations to cover a wide range of skills and techniques.
