IFMGA Aspirant Guide
IFMGA Mountain guide aspirant. Qualifying through the British mountain guides. I am from Ireland originally. I have been living in Chamonix for a decade now. I arrived in the Alps with the same aspirations as everyone else, to learn how to move through the mountains. I’m approaching my final assessment as an IFMGA mountain guide, an incredible journey of learning and discovery. I get great satisfaction being able to take clients into the mountains and help them develop their skills and guide them in places they might not otherwise go
