TESTIMONIALS

"Lovely sociable group of clients. Chilled vibe, lots of belly laughs in the evening. Bit of craic. Accom. perfect. Tea and cake on return from days adventures was a nice touch. Food for making lunch, snacks, variety of breakfast options reflected well on a guiding company that was clearly well experienced, client oriented and thoughtful. Everything from initial contact to getting the bus from Evolene was just... easy. Seamless. A well oiled machine. Re. the guiding service, it was perfect. An energising, inspiring, start to hopefully lots of further alpine adventures. "

"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."

"Thanks for an awesome week. Everything is so well organised. Even from my first inquiry everything went smoothly. I received a call half an hour after my email from Janine. We discussed plans and it all sounded good. All communication was fast, efficient and smooth. We arrived at Evolene and were very happy with the accommodation. When we weren't climbing we didn't have to worry about accommodation or food. Breakfast and dinner (great cooking from Janine, especially her lasagne!) are catered for and it's possible to take sandwiches, fruit, chocolate bars or flapjacks with you for the day. Graham has an abundance of experience and despite the bad weather at the beginning of the week he was able to give us a fantastic week. We had expressed our interest in Dent Blanche and he organised everything around that. He has great knowledge about the local area and put together a fun 3 day trip. From hardcore mountaineering to rock climbing, he's got you covered. We are looking forward to coming back next year!"
