Chunky day with the Welsh boys on the Mittellegi Integral on the Eiger.

The plan had been to spend three days doing this big tour, but the weather had other ideas and the last day wasn’t looking too promising. The gents had been quick on the Matterhorn, so Dan and I decided they’d be up for doing it in a day from the beautiful Ostegghütte.

It delivered exactly what we expected — a very chunky day! Arriving at the Mönchsjochhütte extremely satisfied and straight into some delicious food.

A huge thanks to Dan for being such a legend and making such an incredible trip happen. It’s been a hilarious couple of weeks — thanks, man!

And of course, Tom and Lewis for the relentless banter. One I’ll remember for a long time! 🤘

Some photos from our warm-up on the Mönch.

An amazing, easily accessed 4000er with no one else around. A bit different from Chamonix… in a good way! 🙌 With IFMGA Mountain Guide in Switzerland, Lewis Jones & Tom Savage, what a mega crew!

Glorious morning on the Hörnli with the boys!

We were treated to a quiet mountain and great conditions. IFMGA Mountain Guide in Switzerland took the lead guide position out of the hut, while Tom and Lewis set a pace that definitely deserved the position all the way to the summit of the Matterhorn!

Of course, we finished the day with burgers in Zermatt. Well good!

Some acclimatisation on this lovely summit before bigger objectives later this week with .guide & .

Hard to beat a summit ridge like the Mönch 🤌

So cool to leave the cold, cloudy morning in Grindelwald and enjoy a sunny climb with no one else around 🙌

Epic start to a couple of weeks in the Alps for Tom & Lewis, alongside me and IFMGA Mountain Guide in Switzerland

A walk-in to the hut and a warm-up for the trip on the Klein Bielenhorn, Schildkrötengrat (AD).

Followed by a great night at the Sidelenhütte and an early start for the brilliant SE Ridge of the Galenstock (AD+).

A proper adventurous day taking in glaciers, steep rock pitches, via ferrata, overhanging abseils on the military abseils — and, of course, plenty of crystal hunting for Dan!

Some mixed weather heading our way now but looking good for the rest of the trip!

After lots of walking up big hills this summer, it’s very nice to be home to some great weather and finally pull on the arms! A fun couple of trad routes mixed in with some good sport climbing.

Photos of Devil Dries Out E5 6a** — really good climbing in an amazing position. Old fixed gear, hollow rock and weak arms made this a bit of a character-building experience. Calum summed it up perfectly: “Jack, you now have lots of character.” 🤣 I’ll have to come back for a clean lead on that one… or maybe not!

Also got to enjoy Lucky Devil E5 6a**, a nice new route by Cal. Thanks for the amazing shots Jethro Kiernan photography

The other shots are Right Wall E5 6a***. I’ve put off doing this for the last eight years, mostly through fear of blowing the onsight on such a classic. Really, you just have to get on these routes — it turned out to be super steady compared to what I’d built up in my head. A very memorable evening with glorious light in the Pass and constant banter from Pavitt!

God, it’s good to be home!

I’ve been out in the Alps a lot this summer working, but Emlyn, Matt and Henry have been out enjoying the brilliant Welsh weather with our guests.

Big mountain routes, sunny sea cliffs and plenty of instructional courses — it’s been a great summer in Wales!

I’ve got some availability this autumn for guiding and instruction. It’s often a brilliant time to be out, with the mountains and cliffs a lot quieter.

Fancy getting out? Send me a DM 🙌

We finished our trip last week by heading up into the magical cirque of the Engelhörner (Angel Peaks) to climb the Kingspitze NO-Wand - which IFMGA Mountain Guide in Switzerland described as a grand course for people on holiday. A truly epic finale to a week of immaculate rock - and relentless banter.

Alpine cragging on the Eiger. Amazing rock, big runouts, and you can really feel the energy (and fear?) of being on the North Face. What a place!

Cassin round two this summer with Dan, Tom and Kiran this time. 800 metres of pure class rock climbing and one of the six classic north faces of the alps, that will never get old!
