Really good day out on Monday, I thought you chose a great route, both up and down!
….Look forward to seeing you in the Alps in September.
Thank you for organising the weather and giving us such a good day out. The only disappointment was missing out on your fruit cake! (Travel plans left no time to stop for tea and cake at Bare Syke this time.)
Lake District Scrambling, June 2015
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).

Great to see you again, we both loved it and learnt so much, weather was perfect and a good test for equipment on the Sunday.
Fantastic weekend in Scotland…. Feel like I’ve made good progress with you the last few times out. Woke up feeling really good about the weekend, good feeling of satisfaction….Interested in going to Skye and possible going back to Dow Crag….
Robin,
Thanks again for a great day out yesterday; the perfect mix of pushing myself and learning useful information along the way….
Cheers,
Tim.
Quick thank you for yesterday, one of my best days out, really enjoyed.
Hi Robin, just a quick note to say thanks again for a terrific couple of days in the Lakes in the Spring, and to share that we had brilliant six days in Austria…..the learning never stops…
Simon and Robin
They completed the 3 Peaks in 18hrs 43mins! They are clearly very pleased with themselves and love it, I think! Thank you for your expert guidance!
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!
