I'm in Chamonix this week, working with the lovely Rees family. We're having to do quite a bit of travelling to other resorts, as the snow in the Chamonix valley is a bit scarce. Monday we went to Verbier, and Tuesday we went through the Mont Blanc tunnel to Italy. Both days we found great snow and lots of sunshine, which always makes for happy clients.

Read MoreTwo great days with Julian Earle this weekend. The first day we went to Black Crag on Pike O'Blisco, and on Sunday we went to Wallowbarrow Crag in the Duddon Valley, with Sam as Julian's second (photos taken at Wallowbarrow). Lots of routes done in great conditions - well done Julian!
Read MoreRichard Bryant is our "oldest" client - he first came on a course as a present for his 40th birthday, and he is now in his late 50s. For several years now he has brought a group from his archery club for a couple of days rock climbing in September. At first it was a couple of days of single pitch climbing, then it became one day single pitch and one day multi-pitch, and for the last two years two days of multi-pitch climbing. This year we visited Stickle Ghyll, Tarn Crag and Jack's Rake in the Langdale valley on the first day, and Brown Slabs and Little Chamonix in the second day. The pictures say it all - blue skies, good friends, and warm rock.
