The North Face of the Pigne d'Arolla is a valley classic but rarely in condition, especially in summer. This year however it's been white all summer - the first time I've seen it stay snowy in 8 years living here - so conditions were ...
Unlike in Zermatt, everything in Saas Fee was working smoothly and as advertised on the website, and we were soon riding quickly up lifts crammed with teams of junior racers. Heading off towards the Feejoch you leave the crowds behind ...
Plan A yesterday was to use the Klein Matterhorn lift to go and climb/ski Pollux and Castor. Although the website said it was open, it turned out the lift is broken and won't be running until late November at the earliest. Hmmm, on to Plan ...
There have been a few pictures on the internet recently of early-season ski trips. A snowy summer and unsettled autumn has left glaciers well covered and some promising conditionsskis on the September Pigne traverse would have been fun!...
It's been a frustrating summer on the Dent Blanche with 2 earlier attempts ending in failure, the first due to huge amounts of snow, the second due to un-forecast howling gales. There may well be "no success like failure", but the Dent ...

The traverse of Liskamm is one of the great high-level ridges in the Alps. Long, serious and committing, the Moran 4000m Peaks guidebook says "all members of the party must be highly competent". Gulp. Luckily the wind dropped, skies ...
We are delighted to announce that Frost Guiding has bought Moran Mountain’s Alpine Mountaineering business. We will now run Martin Moran’s popular Alpine Mountaineering courses from our base in Evolene, Switzerland from June to ...
Superb day yesterday on the Forbes Arete, Aiguille du Chardonnet. First climbed in 1899(!) this is up there with the best AD ridges in the Alps, with difficulties on snow and rock, great views...
