ABOUT

I am a Mountain Guide based in the Chamonix valley, below Mont Blanc. I am available for all kinds private mountain Guiding and to work for guiding agencies worldwide.

My specialty is technical climbing and ski descents in the Alps, Patagonia, and Himalayas.

I grew up in Devon, England where I started rock climbing on the moors and sea cliffs. In 2014 I did my first season working in Torres del Paine as a Kayak, trekking and Glacier guide. Many seasons followed. In 2020 after many climbing and ski trips to the Alps I moved to the Chamonix Valley where I can pursue my mountain activities on a daily basis.

I am passionate about not only achieving my own dreams but helping other achieve theirs.
