Alpine climbing
Ethos
Much like my work in Scotland I like to remain as flexible as possible to take advantage of the best conditions. For summer 2025 I will mostly be operating out of the Chamonix Valley, but will also be travelling and working regularly across other parts of the Swiss and Italian Alps as well as in the Ecrins Massif.
