Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi, Can anyone suggest the best place to find or even recommend a mountain guide in chamonix. I am hoping to climb next year or even do a bit of back country.
Thanx.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

cjones09, you will do a lot better getting an answer to this if it is posted in "the Piste" or "resort reviews" - suggestions/requests is more for questions about the functioning of this forum. Perhaps a mod might move this and pm cjones09, ?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Remy Lecluse ( remilecluse@yahoo.com )is the most famous of all of them - he has even guided a client skiing down under the Aiguille du Midi cable-car and speaks quite good English, but he may be booked up by now for this season.
Jim Kerr ( jimkerr@chamonix.net ) is English but has lived there for a while and is a good guide.
Roland Stieger ( 0033 450 558477 - I don't seem to have his email) is a huge personality and well known guide in the area and good to ski with, but I don't know how his injuries and age have affected his climbing - he may be fine but you would need to find out.
Edit: Find more information on here

Kenton Cool of Dream Guides is a good bloke. Never climbed as a client of his but friends and acquantances have and have really enjoyed it, as well as generally fulfilling their objectives.

Can second the suggestions for Rick & Kenton above, and also throw in a host of other Cham-based Brit guides - Guy Willett, Jonny Baird, Jim Blyth, Jon Bracey, Bruce Goodlad just for starters... (Guy is the other half of Dream Guides, Jonny you can contact via www.jonathan-baird.com and the rest will all succumb to googling).
