I do not run courses and therefore if there is more than one person on a climb or tour it is of your own choosing, so you wll probably get on alright with each other. Each day or week is based on a day rate (sterling or euros) + directly incurred expenses. The number of clients does have an impact on what can be done but this is fully discussed beforehand. Due to client commitments I am not always in a position to answer phone calls but generally can access email (see contact page).

I generally prefer to work out of small hotels, gites or mountain huts that are readily available on both the Spanish and French sides of the Pyrenees. I feel that it is usually best to arrange accommodation as needed, that way we can maximise the variety of conditions that the Pyrenees have to offer following the weather if necessary.

For 2006/7 please look on the links page to find other guides that may be able to help you or contact me and I would be happy to help you find a local guide many of whom speak excellent English.

Skiing in to Oceano Pacifico
 
You don't have to be a fantastic skier to benefit from using touring skis to approach many of the routes. If it gets too hard take them off and walk a bit. Snow shoes are another tool that makes the approach easier. The only real problem I can see with the winter ice climbing in the Pyrenees is the lack of boggy ground to deal with before you reach the ice climbs.
