That’s me in the above. I became an UIAGM mountain guide in 1996 after a career as an architect in London. I relocated to Chamonix, France and became a member of the SNGM (National Syndicate of French Mountain Guides) in 2003.

In the years as an amateur and later as a professional, I clocked up a large amount of expedition time in the Karakoram andHimalaya, and recently calculated that I have now spent five years of my life under canvas. Some of these adventure have appeared in print. When not working or writing, I spend my time cooking for friends and family, and clambering on steep little bits of rock. The books are now available in Kndle, with other formats to follow;
