Absolutely loved it. I think we both got what we needed. You pushed me just enough and
I managed more than I realised I could.
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….
Thought you may like to know that Al and I have been putting your training into use in North Wales. Grade 2 and 3 scrambles. Thanks again. Hope you’re well. Ben
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).

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.)

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!
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!
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.
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…
