What Our Guests Say

Hi Rob, yes really good few days thanks, especially considering I couldn’t walk very well 6 weeks ago! Thanks to you and Hamish for rearranging the dates at short notice. Hamish was really good.

Simon

Just wanted to say thanks again for another really enjoyable and adventurous time in the mountains – remote big peak, cragging and skills coaching!!! Really appreciated your flexibility in choosing goals, encouragement and great company!!

Thank you so much for taking me out walking for two days. Thursday was a wonderful introduction to Chamonix walking high up and scrambling down. I loved it and wish i had been fitter. Friday was a perfect follow and today when i left Chamonix i could clearly see the path.  I hope you had a successful day! I will be in touch to arrange Mont Buet or similar next year…

Thank you again! Best wishes Caroline

Thanks again for today Rob! Fantastic day of climbing 👌

Just landed back in London. Amazing weekend – learned tons and had a lot of fun.

Yesterday was absolutely awesome and made a great final day to my first full winter season.

Kev has done a great job this last week, especially given the tricky snowpack and dodgy weather. I had an awesome time and skied some fantastic snow in incredible locations (we also managed to find some awful snow but that’s all part of spring ski touring!

Cheers, Darryl

Just to say thanks for organising a great trip. The team really enjoyed it and Hannah did a great job of encouraging the team who felt they were able to find their limit in a well-supported and safe way.

The team is mulling over a potential trip to Mt Blanc having been pushed hard on this one and I’ll let you know where they end up.

Speak soon.  Jim

Back again soon, Kind Regards

Two great bespoke mountain days in the Cairngorms with the experienced and knowledgeable Jonathan Preston: the Twin Ribs onto Fiaicall Ridge with a long snow descent, and a trip up the icy Goat path and an ascent of Afterthought Arete.

Increased my confidence in crampons greatly and brought me closer to the skill and fitness I will need for the Matterhorn itself. I strongly recommend High Mountain Guides!

We had a great time in Scotland, more or less good weather and Dave was great guide, we had a wonderful time and I would highly recommend him.

Best, Tony

Cheers Rob.  A great day out.

Having just completed the February Mont Blanc training weekend in Aviemore I wanted to say thank you to HMG for organising a really enjoyable and informative course.  The weather was wintery but the flexibility of the guides to accommodate the weather and still put us through our paces meant we got a lot done.  Rob answered several kit questions before the course and that stood me in great stead.

If you are thinking about whether to go on the course, I can say that it is a great opportunity to benchmark your kit and fitness, the safety and movement skills learned give confidence and the amount of practical information about actually climbing Mont Blanc that comes from general discussions with others and the guide is invaluable.  Definitely recommended. 

Thank you so much to Rob for an amazing snow shoeing expedition to the Grand St. Bernard Monastery, Col de Barasson, Mont Fourchon and the surrounding area. Rob’s excellent communication, knowledge of the mountains and help with kit and preparation made planning the trip really easy. On the expedition itself, Rob was fantastic company – friendly, professional and good humoured with a brilliant outlook on the mountains and the environment.

His expertise was also hugely impressive and he struck the perfect balance between challenging us with the itinerary while also building in avalanche and route-finding training. The trip was undoubtedly one of our mountaineering highlights and we feel more inspired now than ever before to build on our skills and spend as much time as we can in the mountains!
