2023 Spring Update

2023 Spring Update

Currently I am focussing on UK based activities and expeditions outside of Europe once again. This is because of the considerable obstacles to working in Europe since Brexit, which have unfortunately impacted my ability to work as a guide in the Alps. 2022 found me guiding in Central Asia for Adventure Peaks, and also on… Continue Reading

Spring Update

Spring Update

The highlight of my spring was certainly the few weeks I took out from our biomass boiler project to ski and climb in the Alps! Kevin and Billy came to Chamonix for a week in late March to check out the Alps for the first time and did some introductory snowshoeing and mountaineering. The excellent spring… Continue Reading

Lorton Gully, Grassmoor

Lorton Gully, Grassmoor

Today John, Nick and I found ourselves in Lorton Gully, Grassmoor, which is a superb Grade 3, three star gully scramble with a real mountain ambiance despite only being minutes above the road at Lanthwaite Green. We had really dry conditions but still managed to find a few extremely slippery holds. It would certainly be entertaining… Continue Reading

Since then Kevin has really been bitten… Continue Reading

Very slippery in places! Tomorrow it’s off to Skye for a week with John and Nick. Let’s hope the… Continue Reading

Skiing New Year 2017

Skiing New Year 2017

With the lean conditions in the Chamonix Valley we headed through the tunnel to Italy over the New Year period and found good snow and some awesome tours: Tête Entre Deux Sauts, Becca di Feluma and Becca di Tos. We finished our trip with an easier day on Mont Fourchon. On the descent we enjoyed… Continue Reading

The Works Dry-tooling Venue

The Works Dry-tooling Venue

Given the alternative option was a fell run, it was a no brainer to head to The Works to give dry tooling a shot last week. Ian had some time off, a pass out and had been on a recce to check out the premier venue in the North West for this activity, which happens… Continue Reading

Have a great summer and hope to see you on… Continue Reading
