Finally got home (late thanks to Easyjet!), feeling tired and quietly still buzzing from an excellent week's alpine climbing! Enjoyed every day, learned something new every day, totally inspired to return to the Alps to climb again. Many thanks to Andy whose patience and expertise gave me the confidence to think about coming back. We managed to fit in pretty much everything I'd wanted to have a go at, in excellent weather with no mishaps, what more can you ask? Awesome.

Thanks for that, Matt. It was a pleasure climbing with you and Trudi, especially with the excellent conditions we had. I'm glad you're inspired to come back to the Alps and do some more. If you need some advice on conditions and routes, don't forget to drop me a line.

All the best,
ANDY P
PS: don't forget to download "Power in the Blood" by Alabama 3. A top tune indeed...

Thanks Andy for a great five days ... The bruises may go after a week or so (!) but I'm hoping to remember everything you shared from your VAST knowledge banks for years to come. I thought your route selection was spot on and gave us a new challenge each day. The last day was my particular favourite as it really helped me understand what I need to do to climb routes of that level without a guide. Special thanks for your patience during my 'jelly leg' moments
