Winter skills course: Alps preparation paid off for Kyle this summer

Kyle spend 2 days with Mountaineering Joe on a Winter Skills course earlier in the year. This certainly paid off for him as he successfully summated Mont Blanc this summer and as he put it ” found it all pretty comfortable! “.

An email from Kyle:

Hi Joe, Just thought I’d drop you an email/pic of me on the summit of Mont Blanc. Spent a week in Chamonix last month, culminating in this summit and several other training peaks! Was a great week, thanks for the winter skills training I was a lot more confident over the ground and found it all pretty comfortable! Looking forward to getting out and doing some more next summer, hopefully we have another cold winter I will be keen to do some ice climb training in Snowdon? Hope your well Regards, Kyle

Don’t go to the Alps with friends unprepared. Make sure you know what you are doing! See our Winter Courses
