Frost Guiding runs Alpine Mountaineering Courses based in fully catered chalets in the traditional alpine village of Evolene, Switzerland. Our Mountaineering Courses cater for climbers of all levels from an Introduction to Alpine Climbing to classic alpine peaks such as Mont Blanc, the Eiger and the Matterhorn right up to our demanding "Performance Alpinism" weeks. We also offer Ice Climbing, Rock

Climbing and Ski Touring, providing Mountain Guides to work towards your personal objectives whatever your level. We promote environmentally responsible mountaineering and give 1% of our annual sales revenue to environmental protection charities through the organisation "1% for the Planet". Director, Graham Frost, is an experienced IFMGA and British Mountain Guide and is the only British Mountain Guide resident in the Arolla valley, climbing and skiing there all year round. Arolla offers a great base for mountain activities in all seasons and is within easy reach of the other Alpine centres such as Chamonix, Verbier, Zermatt, Saas Fee, Zinal and the Bernese Oberland. "Our aim is simply to help you get the most out of your time in the mountains, whatever your ability, age or ambition."

Chris on top of the Old Man of Hoy last week - the best known of the Scottish sea stacks. More photos on the FrostGuiding Blog. I'm back in Switzerland now preparing for the start of the Summer Alpine season. It looks like being a snowy start to the season so hopefully good conditions on the classic routes.
We have some places available on Alpine weeks - details on the website!

2 articles in the news today about the accelerating rate of glacier melt in the Alps. 10% of volume lost in the last 2 years in Switzerland.
People often ask me if I've seen a change since moving to Switzerland - it's changing so fast you can see the difference monthly!

Selon la Commission suisse pour l’observation de la cryosphère, le volume des glaciers suisses a diminué de 10% sur les deux dernières années.

In 2004 (?) I climbed the Hopkinson Spur direct with Adam. The AC guidebook mentioned traversing the hanging glacier at mid-height to avoid a section of ridge but this had already shrunk back so far we couldn't reach it and stayed on the rock instead. Perhaps in 5 years it will be gone completely.

A bunch of summer season photos! I've been a bit slow on Facebook this summer so this is a quick catch-up. It's certainly not been the easiest season in terms of conditions but looking back through photos shows how much good climbing we've been able to do.

Somewhere on the website there's a reference to a scary, teach-yourself-paragliding phase...this is my first ever take-off. Maybe 1995? From the Grands Montets top station with Jeff Degens in pursuit shouting instructions. Ronhills (1 pair) and Koflach plastic boots (1 pair).
