A recent cancellation to climb the Mont Blanc has left availability in my calendar and with my hut booking for this week in place I would like to offer you the option to prepare with me to climb and summit Western Europe’s highest peak. Itinerary: Day 1: make our way up sky way monte bianco - glacier crossing and marbrees ridge - sleep at Torino rifugio Day 2: - glacier crossing to climb arête entreves - return to Chamonix and sleep at valley level Day 3: - walk to Refuge tête rousse Day 4: - summit Mont Blanc - sleep at Goûter refuge Day 5: - leave goûter refuge and return to Chamonix valley - farewell drink and food ** possible to add additional night at Torino to prolong our time spent at altitude. With this we can also add the possibility of running through crevasse rescue and glacier skills. This means and added day to the itinerary. Skills learnt: - confidence in an alpine environment - what to pack - how to use crampons and axe - being on a glaciated rope - glacier crossing - Being on a short rope for alpine ridges - movement coaching on technical alpine ridges ***this week is for anyone who wants to learn and with an interest to further their skills to progress into other alpine objective’s

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
