Chamonix Climbing Partner 29 June - July 13 2008
I will be out this summer with no climbing partner (my pal unfortunately tore his ACL skiing this winter & won’t be able to make it). Je cherche pour un compagne de corde ce ete.
Je suis Ecossais et habite en Edinbourg, mon Francais is malhereusement ne pas bonne ! but I am keen to improve.
I’m 37 married with one boy & will be oot in Cham with the family on above dates. My wife prefers chilling in the sun to hard work & fear. So she is very indulgent of her man’s wee forays into the mountains.
I have been out climbing in the Alps most years since I turned 20 & have done a fair bit of stuff around Cham since then; Frontier Ridge, Frendo Spur,N spur & Forbes Arete on Chardonnet, N face of Tour Ronde, Mt Blanc, rock routes in the Aiguilles etc. Done a fair bit of 4000’er bagging in switzerland as well.
Looking for a mellow climbing buddy up for PD - D standard Alpine routes. More than happy to climb with a first timer in the Alps; climbed with a charming bloke in Cham last summer who’s first Alpine trip it was & had a good laugh and got some nice routes in too.
If you’re interested give me a post on macrosson@btinternet.com or phone me on my mobile 07796768143.
Thanks … What a lovely prospect …Alpine sun, perfect neve & warm granite 'twill make a nice change from the Scottish winter spindrift blastings I’ve been enjoying ?!
A bientot peut-etre ?
