TESTIMONIALS

"Having not been out in the Alps for a few years I wanted to have a guided week that consolidated and built upon my previous experience of PD/ AD- alpine routes and would give me more confidence to tackle harder objectives in the AD range. Everything with Frost Guiding was great. Everyone was extremely welcoming and helpful. The chalet apartment was a great base and the food was perfect (we always made sure we were back for Louise's cake!). I had the pleasure of climbing with Tim Neill who, as well as being vastly experienced, was great company and seemed to have unwavering confidence in our ability to climb safely and efficiently. The objectives we chose for the week were excellent, Arolla is beautiful and despite being August we often found that we had the mountains to ourselves. I am now looking forward to planning the next trip and I would highly recommend Frost Guiding to anyone!"

"It may seem trivial to talk of the quality of the food when talking about Alpine mountaineering, but this is a good sign of how well I have been looked after at Frost Guiding. The evening meals are very high quality, while the afternoon tea and cake are very welcome when returning from the peaks. The guides I have climbed with over the last decade have been equally well chosen – a special mention to Gav – and I have felt safe (but never complacent) in their hands. Thanks to Frost Guiding I’ve been able to climb 4000ers by their more interesting routes, from the Ober Gabelhorn, Matterhorn to Weisshorn."

"I had a wonderful few weeks in the Alps. Gareth was great and we achieved a fair bit - he was very patient with me. We began with the Point Lachenal followed by Cosmiques Arete. The next day we did the Aiguille de Peigne. This was a cracking climb - in my view far harder than I remember the Matterhorn. After much discussion our week was completed by the traverse of Lyskamm. This (as you know) has been on my list for years and did not disappoint. I was ready for the cramponing but I had not anticipated the exposure. I found it best just to concentrate on my feet. All in all it was a great week!"

"We had the best time climbing in the alps in the last 2 weeks. Everything came together, stable weather, good planning, a list of objectives, and the best climbing guide anyone can hope for. Tim was incredible, he made our week. We achieved all the climbing objectives we set for ourselves at the start of the program, culminating in the successful climb of the Eiger, a highlight of my climbing career. A lot of it was down to the experience, good sense and enthusiasm of Tim. He is the quintessential gentle giant. He made sure that our climbing was always conducted safely, yet he is willing to work with us to push our climbing in order to achieve our objectives. He is also a wonderful company to be with and has a gift of getting along with everyone he meets. The chalet accommodation was good too, with Louise’s good company and the wonderful food she prepares for us. All in all a really successful climbing experience."

"Great guide and instructor. We were able to adapt plans due to some challenging conditions on our initial objectives. I asked lots of questions and always received thoughtful lessons and tips."
