Climbing

Rock and ice climbing across the Alps and beyond — granite and limestone, single pitch to long multi-pitch routes. Switzerland alone ranges from the accessible multi-pitch of the Alpstein to the steep, technical walls of the Wendenstöcke and the classic ridges of the Salbit. Further afield the granite of Norway's Lofoten Islands rises straight from the sea. Whether you're stepping onto real rock for the first time or chasing a hard objective, the day or a trip is built around your level and the conditions.

Tailored to you

Don't see your objective?

Some of the best days I guide never appear on a list. Tell me the rock type you want to climb — a first multi-pitch, a Dolomites classic, a project you've had in the back of your mind — and I'll build the trip around it.
