Just wanted to say thanks to Dave for a brilliant day out on Friday. He was really patient and helped me gain a lot of confidence in a short space of time. Amazingly he also managed to satisfy both our differing learning needs meaning we both had a great day in the mountains

Brilliant Day

Just a quick note to say thanks and to let you know that, as I am sure you know, Matt was a really good guide. One of the best I have had

Great Guide

What a tremendous couple of day! To be on Tower Ridge with that weather, words cannot describe it. I also can’t believe we had the place to ourselves for most of the day… A big thanks you.

What a tremendous couple of days!

Hi
Just to say thanks for organising the guiding for us. We had 2 great days with Bruce, who was a very safe pair of hands!

A Safe Pair of Hands!

‘The trip was great thanks, a real eye opener and definitely changed my mind set about being fixated on just one peak – Im really excited about the potential scope for what can be done and will definitely be looking to do another trip with you’

Great Trip

I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for the skills, knowledge and wisdom shared with myself and Rob on our course at the weekend. It gave us an insight into the challenges that lie ahead in the mountains and we learned huge amounts from yourself and Jake over the two days. I appreciated the fact that you were patient but never indulgent. But it was also great fun. I wish you the best of luck on your future climbs, and I’ll be sure to recommend you to anyone I know who is considering such a course. And please pass on our thanks to Jake too.

Thank You
