There is ample opportunity to use a range of modern equipment whilst learning the most up to date ice-climbing techniques. With clients coming back for more there is an opportunity to pick some real plums with literally hundreds of ice routes in condition throughout the winter. These carefully chosen venues provide ice climbing for all levels of ability and the routes we attempt will be limited only by conditions and personal ability. Massive areas of untracked snow devoted to the off-piste skier combine with frozen cascades and gully climbing. Just imagine yourself making fresh tracks to the foot of an icefall then front pointing a magnificent frozen cascade before rapping back to your skis for a final deep snow run back to the valley.
Some days are simply dedicated to powder and off-piste others to ice.
If you are already a skier but want to try out ice climbing it's ideal. Alternatively if you are a climber that skis a little but hasn't made the transition to touring or off-piste this is for you. Please feel free to call or email me anytime with questions. In this case there are arrangements for getting messages through to me which would enable you to e.g. join a trip in the alps. Subscribe to my FREE Newsletter 'alps and world mountaineering' which will be a complete review of all Himalayan activity, about 3-4 times per year and more regular updates on the alps and picture reports from my trips to the alps, Nepal, Antarctica.
