I have been  bit lazy about keeping my blog up to date. They say the bast climbers are the ones having the most fun..... and thats what I have been doing; 

A nice ascent of the Matterhorn

Zermatt and around the Matterhorn

Guiding for Adventure Consultants this week, we have a Montarosa tour which should be fun.

The Riffelhorn 2927 m and Matterhorn

Breithorn 4085 m,

Rock climbing on the south face of Riffelhorn for our first day, some nice rock climbing, then roping up for glacier travel, anchors and crevasse rescue hauling systems.

Some nice climbing to be had with about 12 bolted routes with some bolted variation finishes.

Aiguilles Marbree with Rick

A nice outing with Rick. Conditions are pretty good but there was not much of a freeze last night so the snow surface was a little bit soft. It was fine for the early birds!

Chamonix ridges-

Nice day acclimatising with Rick with an overnight stay at The Refuge des Cosmiques, (3613m).

Quite atmospheric up on the Vallee Blanche this early morning. 

Rock Climbing -Aiguilles Rouge, Chamonix Mont Blanc

Super ice day with my friend Paul, we climbed Madagaskara  TD- 6a

Introductory rock climbing course

A nice day here with good dry rock to climb upon.  Martin and his grandson J drove up from Wishaw and we went through lots of rock climbing skills and got some nice climbs done in the process. So a great day and if you are looking for introductory climbing course or perhaps transferring your skills from indoors bolt climbing to trad please give us a call..

Getting out of the Covid-19 lock down

Here in Scotland we can travel further afield now so we are now taking bookings for Scottish and Alpine private guiding, Rock climbing, transition courses from indoor to trad climbing,  hill walking, ridge scrambles, munro bagging, technical alpine climbing and 4000 meter peaks and European Rock climbs. Today we were down by the sea on the Moray coast, it was a bit blustery but in the man the rain stayed away and the rock was dry!
