Useful Information |
Anyone who has climbed a mountain knows that at the summit there
is a combination of satisfaction, awe and delight which is not
easily put into words. This trip provides you with successive
days of stunning vistas and that indefinable sense of wonder.
You will be taught climbing skills by someone
who has chosen to spend his life climbing mountains. His love
of mountaineering, the exuberance of the groups returning
from this trip and the number of repeat bookings suggest that
the passion of Victor Saunders transfers
to those who climb with him. Not to be missed.
