If you haven’t been to Indian creek and you love crack climbing… then go!

Climbing in la zone in chamonix #sunshine #climbinglife #spring #nearlysummer

The dolomites is the couloir paradise. The views are spectacular and it is so quiet and tranquil here. Endless amounts of fresh snow to ski #dolomites #nolifts #couloirhunter

Another powder day in Chamonix. Glorious sunshine and plenty of light fluffy snow. It’s quite sketchy at the moment so we stuck to lines close to the piste and ones we are familiar with #nolifts #chamonix #earnyourturns

[Fay Manners @f_manners]

A new year and a new area to explore ski touring. The Aravis has some cold and soft snow at the moment, more than Chamonix and so I have been escaping the crowds skinning up the piste and finding some beautiful hidden gems in other valleys #earnyourturns #skitouring #winter2021

The climbing in the dolomites is so picturesque and the rock is beautiful. It’s a shame the weather forecast is so bad for the week ahead. This might mean driving back home early #dolomites #comeonsunshine #iloveyourock

[Fay Manners @f_manners]

It is incredible being fortunate enough to be based in the dolomites for a couple of weeks in the van this month. I am in a position where I can work remotely and climb mountains in my spare time #remoteworking #travel #vanliving #dolomites #alpinism

A bus stop at the top of a summit. Most perculiar thing I have seen while climbing this year. It has been nice to escape the chamonix valley for the weekend. Now back to work! #switzerland #furkapass #busstop

@FrenchMountains Started from the hut around 3am and got to Mont Blanc before midday. Back to the midi around 2:30pm for afternoon tea in town at the bakery 🧁

Innominata ridge up to Mont Blanc this week. An alpine route that has everything packed into one incredible adventure. #Italy #france #montblanc #hikingfromhome #chamonix

[Fay Manners @f_manners]

Mont Blanc in a day from the midi this weekend. Good to feel acclimatised #chamonix #montblanc #goodwaytospendaweekend

Maugue : Les Mains dans le Sel
A wild route in Verdon (multi pitch adventure sunshine paradise) and I have to admit some rests and pulling on quickdraws on leading the pumpy 7a pitch 🙄 and some of the other easier 6b pitches too 😬#verdon #multipitchclimbing #boltclipping

Galetas- Mayreste: une pincèe de ketchup!
A really beautiful route in Verdon overlooking the turquoise lake. I am really enjoying doing some multi pitch sport climbing, not something I have done loads of before 💪🧗‍♀️🌞💧#verdon #sportclimbing #springholiday #holidayfromholiday

Climbed the frendo Spur in what was mostly winter conditions this week. It nearly turned into an epic with mushy snow and a white out but we made it in time to get the lift down so luckily we didn’t have to sleep in the midi toilets #frendo #chamonixclassics #alpinism

[Fay Manners @f_manners]

Nice acclimatisation climb on the Migot spur yesterday. It’s in great condition for anyone that is considering the climb. The steps are now in and the climbing is fairly simple due to being nice and icy. I didn’t bother taking my skis 🎿 #alpinism #chamonix #longdays

[Fay Manners @f_manners]

Mont Blanc du Tacul Triangle on Sunday. Not quite the conditions we had hoped, It was pretty icy in places from being sun baked. And there wasn’t as much new snow as we had dreamt of. However, it was nice to be up on the midi skiing still in May ⛷ 🏔 #chamonix #springskiing

[Fay Manners @f_manners]

Croix de Fer. What an amazing cliff with wonderful limestone climbing. A great place to climb to escape the crowds and find some breeze on a hot day. We did a route called Ni dieu ni maitre which is super tricky for the grade but fun. #chamonix #sportclimbing

Another quiet day on the mountain 🏔 😷🥐
