Description

Join me and discover some of the best spots for winter climbing in Scotland and feel like a real mountaineer!

The winter in Scotland offers fabulous and endless opportunities for winter climbing and is a great learning ground. Join me on this memorable experience!

I propose you come on one or several climbing days with me. We may choose to climb the highest peak in the United Kingdom, Ben Nevis. Standing at 1345 metres above sea level, west of the Grampian Mountains, it is the main rock climbing spot in Scotland. It provides both traditional scrambles and rock climbing for all levels.

You will find the trip fascinating! There are several routes to the summit. Ledge Route, the best route of its kind in the UK, has a bit of everything. It is a mild scramble, but it is not a hill walk. It isn’t particularly committed, but because of its length and situation it isn’t recommended for beginners.

Another path to the Ben Nevis summit is Green Gully, with some exposed rock. It offers incredible views!

Apart from Ben Nevis, there are a lot of other alternatives, from the east with the Cairngorms (the largest national park in the UK) to the west with Glen Coe.

Do you find winter climbing in Scotland tempting? Then please contact me and indulge in an amazing adventure! We will make a plan together according to your wishes and expectations.

Mountain Guide

I am based in the heart of the Snowdonia National Park, in North Wales, in a village called Llanberis.
I have specialised in mountaineering and skiing. My main focus is to take my clients on great adventures in the British mountains and the European Alps, but I can also guide them in different places around the world.
I love sharing new challenges with my clients: whether it is about reaching the next summit or finding the best ski line.
To be safe as a mountaineer, keeping active is key. Therefore, I am always pushing forward and looking for new goals to reach.
I guide individuals and small groups. Please have a look at my favourite guiding programs and get in touch with me. It will be a great pleasure to share the mountains with you.

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
