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.
The course content was brilliant. No knocking whatsoever. We had Jacky for the duration, and his experience shines through and his leadership. He taught me a lot of things, not just the black and white of things but actually quick methods to overcome tricky situations!
