What they thought about RPM Guiding

 Thanks very much for taking us up some excellent mountains and into such an interesting area. You seem to sum up our capabilities pretty well and pushed us out of our comfort zone to achieve a bit more. Your choice of huts worked very well and we were spared the trauma of the poo mountains.

Once again a fantastic week’s activity Ric, thank you; as always somewhere new, always challenging 'edge of envelope' limits that are explored but still huge amounts of fun. Us two Andy’s can’t wait for our ten year loyalty discount of a free guiding week, lol!
Andy Baxter, Ice and stuff, Jan '10

I thought you picked some good routes and set a good pace. You did well to push us on whilst being very patient with our continuous falls in the soft stuff! Susie was really chuffed to suddenly get it after struggling a bit for the first couple of days.

The day on the Vallée B is currently one of my fall back memories when I am sat in long design meetings… I still can’t believe how good a day we got!

We are all definitely converts to the world of ski touring, especially its flexibility in either being a long tour or simply a means of getting to some off piste skiing

Thought the whole week was fantastic - thoroughly enjoyed both Pigne d'Arolla & Mont Blanc.
We will definitely return for some further trips.

Just to say many, many thanks for your fabulous guiding! The days were a truly memorable experience and I’m so glad we were able to do the Vallee Blanche!

Thanks very much for last week we both really enjoyed it. I think we both agreed that the Cosmique Arête was the highlight of the whole week. We'll definitely be out again in the not too distant future.

Thanks again for a fantastic time and in particular your excellent company and decision making

What can I say?! 11 out of 10!
Ric … professional, friendly, courteous not forgetting his obvious expertise and passion for the mountains which kept us safe in such a potentially hostile environment!
Everything ran like clockwork… he constantly gave us options on reorganising the trip based on the latest weather which ensured that we made the most of every opportunity… and yes we made it to the top of both Gran Paradiso and Mt Blanc.
We had a fantastic time… would highly recommend Ric / RPM Guiding to anyone

Not a lot! I hated being dragged up Central Gully and wished I'd never gone out that day. I thought I was just going round the block.

Ric organized a great week for me to train for my attempt on the Matterhorn. In the event it was a little too much for me but Ric still had me doing things I never imagined I could, leaving every day on a high note. Every day varied and something new and challenging and clearly Ric has a lot of local knowledge. Thanks so much. I'll be back.
