About Us

Robin is a full time IFMGA and British Mountain Guide. He has over 30 years’ alpine mountaineering experience and is an Everest summiteer, six out of ten clients reaching the summit with him in 2007. Robin instructs and guides individuals, couples and groups in mountaineering, climbing and ski mountaineering. He delivers friendly, high quality, bespoke mountain guiding and instruction to help you achieve your particular objectives and gain new skills. Robin works all over the world, wherever guiding takes him, but he splits most of his time between his home in the Lake District and his flat in the Alps.

Robin has led many expeditions to mountains all over the world, and has climbed extensively in the Himalaya, Africa and South America. He has successfully climbed with clients to the summits of 2 8000 metre peaks; Everest and Broad Peak. Robin also enjoys leading ski touring groups in the Arctic most years. In December 2010 he achieved 100% success on Mount Vinson and Knutzen Peak in Antarctica with a group of 3 clients, and in 2012 skied to the South Pole.

Robin is based in the English Lake District and Chamonix. He climbs and skis all over the European Alps, being especially at home in the Mont Blanc Massif, Chamonix and Saas/Zermatt but travelling to all regions, and he has climbed most of the 4000 metre peaks in the Alps as a guide. When he’s in the Lakes and elsewhere in the UK he offers tailor made guiding and instruction in rock climbing, mountaineering, scrambling, mountain walking, alpine preparation and expedition training. He frequently uses a Scottish base, particularly for winter climbing, mountaineering and walking.

Robin likes nothing better than going off the beaten track in search of interesting objectives. If you’d like to join him please phone or email to discuss your plans and availability of dates.
