Best finish ever. The noise and excitement was amazing. @UTMBMontBlanc TDS 2022

It’s been a long time since I’ve bivvied out before a alpine route. This spot was 5* - for the views at least!

Lucy Wallace and Nick Moyes asked about British Mountain Guides working in Europe. The reality is Brexit has had a negative effect for those of us with professions which were based on freedom of movement. The reality is challenging... @snoweider @NickMoyes Thread!

Full value ski mountaineering on Mont Velan today. Lucky with the weather too.

Fresh snow and mixed weather stopped our Mont Blanc attempt this week. Grand Paradiso was a good plan B. Thanks to Gareth for guiding 👍

A totally stunning day on the Domes du Miage. 1st out the hut and a fair amount of trail making gave us the powder. Hard to beat #skitouring when it’s like this 😊

A brilliant ski off the top of #montblanc yesterday. Perfect weather & fun team. We went via the Bosses ridge to check out the “new” crevasse. Technical! #chamonix

Two contrasting #skitouring days around the Grand St Bernard hospice. Sunshine and t-shirts followed by white out navigation this morning.

Spent a few hours ski touring up this thing today. Flat. But epic.

A nice bimble around the Grand St Bernard hospice. Very soggy wet snow, but still good fun. #skitouring
