Thanks again for leading our day in the Lakes. This trip has lit a fire within us and we can’t wait to do some more bouldering and get out of London for some more walking/climbing.
Thanks again for a great day out; loved every minute and your guiding was top notch! Looking forward to Skye but will get some training in first!
Cheers!
What a great 2 days of climbing! We climbed l’Index yesterday (first three) and were on a crag in another valley practicing belaying and leading. Thank you @robinbeadleguide again for two great days.
We had a great day doing Skew Gill and Cust’s Gully yesterday. Had to do some belaying to get over an awkward pitch so that was great to put into practice what we learnt last summer with you and Owain.
We both really enjoyed coming up and learning the alpine skills last week and have been having a practice at some of the crevasse rescue bits since.
Truly fantastic trip Robin. Thank you so much for getting us up and down those amazing places.
Thank you again for a wonderful week. All expectations where achieved! The poor weather the first few days causing us to change our plans really did help us to have a far more interesting time I feel. As a result we had more time to extend the range of activities, climbing more peaks rather than simply walking between huts. We all learnt a great deal. We also enjoyed the social evenings in the huts!
Please contact me should the Lakes get snow this winter, or when, and we will endeavour to come up and spend a day with you.
Thanks again for all the work you put in on our behalf. Hope you are having another good week. We had a good flight home after spending a day in Innsbruck, which was most enjoyable. Thanks for the lift! The train journey was fun, but the walk back to the hotel was further than we thought 10k!
Robin,
Thanks again for a great training on Saturday! Really appreciate your input and patience with us as a mixed ability group, but you were fantastic! All the best
Thanks for a great mountain experience, and yes it was Scottish in feel, with the spindrift, and the light on the fells on the way down the ridge, it was nice to get those views all around from the ridge….
Hi Robin, came back off Denali this week. Weather very sketchy this year. 6 major storm systems and summit was -58 to -66 C for our window. Quite a way colder than K2 and Everest at the time. Team got up to high camp but weather meant we stopped short of summmit. Challenging conditions- multiple rescues by rangers of teams with HACE/ frost bite who fancied their chances. Luckily we descended in one go and got the last flight off the glacier. Still no flights operating nearly a week later.
Just to say a huge thanks for the training last month. Out of 7 team members, I was one of only two who didn’t fall into a crevasse. Each resolved through a bit of muscle power verses group system. No injuries. My sled fell down cracks at various points on the way. Our training gave me the confidence to handle it without a problem. I practiced what you taught me and nailed the fixed lines and running belay….
Many memorable moments: helped rescue Norwegian team with HAPE, navigating crevassed slope in whitehout, big slab avalanche just near us. Incredible….
Thanks again, and hope to climb with you in future (keen to get into a bit of ice climbing next).
