@ultrabritton @UTMBMontBlanc Cheers Robbie. A tough day that one. Might need to tap you up for some coaching before the next one!

It’s been a long time since I’ve bivvied out before a alpine route. This spot was 5* - for the views at least!

Lucy Wallace and Nick Moyes asked about British Mountain Guides working in Europe. The reality is Brexit has had a negative effect for those of us with professions which were based on freedom of movement. The reality is challenging... @snoweider @NickMoyes Thread!

Putting together final prep for this trip. A couple of spots left.

Fancy four days of mountain running? - we are organising a trip around the UTMB's TDS route this July. Whether you are planning to race this year or not, we have a few spots left on our small team.

Another photo from the Kuffner on Tuesday. Dave employing his trademark no hands rest in the sunshine.

A brilliant day guiding the Kuffner with Dave. Quality climbing in some pretty wild positions 👌

@andycramp2 @ariroberts Nice to see lots of people out enjoying & challenging themselves 👍

[Ben Bradford @Vert_Frontiers]

Full value ski mountaineering on Mont Velan today. Lucky with the weather too.

[Ben Bradford @Vert_Frontiers]

Fresh snow and mixed weather stopped our Mont Blanc attempt this week. Grand Paradiso was a good plan B. Thanks to Gareth for guiding 👍

[Ben Bradford @Vert_Frontiers]

We've got an alpine climbing training weekend 28th & 29th May in #chamonix. Details here: https://t.co/LzhcNfNZf5

[Ben Bradford @Vert_Frontiers]

Our 2nd ski Mont Blanc of the season is underway. Warm up touring on the Vallee Blanche. (Gareth guiding). #chamonix

[Ben Bradford @Vert_Frontiers]

A totally stunning day on the Domes du Miage. 1st out the hut and a fair amount of trail making gave us the powder. Hard to beat #skitouring when it’s like this 😊

[Ben Bradford @Vert_Frontiers]

A brilliant ski off the top of #montblanc yesterday. Perfect weather & fun team. We went via the Bosses ridge to check out the “new” crevasse. Technical! #chamonix

[Ben Bradford @Vert_Frontiers]

Off up #montblanc over the next couple of days with this lot.

Totally mint ski touring conditions today 🤘

[Ben Bradford @Vert_Frontiers]

We got some winter again :)
Some great ski touring around Grand Montet, fresh tracks from start to finish :)
