ROCK CLIMBING
may - october

My love of French rock climbing is well over twenty years old. In France there is a multitude of superb granite and limestone cliffs. I offer instruction on single pitch routes and essential climbing skills, and guided ascents of multi pitch routes. Here are a few of my favourite areas to climb:
- Haute Savoie
- Briançonnais
- Vercors
- Verdon gorge
- Les Calanques
- La Provence

TECHNICAL ALPINE CLIMBS
june - september

I offer guided ascents of long, technical and potentially quite committing granite and mixed climbs in the Mont Blanc Massif.

GLACIAL TREKS
june - september

HIGH LEVEL ROUTES:
- Chamonix - Zermatt
- Monte Rosa
- Bernese Oberland

High alpine glacial walks are a wonderful way to discover the Alps in the summer. To take part in one of these treks you should be able to walk for up to 6-8 hours a day carrying a moderately heavy rucksack. These treks are not very difficult technically speaking, but you do need to be roped together when crossing glaciers.

4000 METRE PEAKS
june - september

Why not try some of the Alpine 4000 metre peaks?

CRYSTAL HUNTING
july - september

Crystal hunting is one of my pastimes I enjoy sharing with clients. This can be a good way to acclimatise for a 4000 metre peak. Rather than joining the crowds on the popular summits, it is so much nicer to go off the beaten track and appreciate the stillness of the mountains.

VIA FERRATA
may - october

There are at least 5 via ferratas near the Chamonix valley.

INSURANCE:
It is essential to be adequately insured by a specialist company, which must cover all mountaineering activities. Also consider travel insurance.
