Chamonix Mountain Guides
Friendly, professional courses throughout the UK and Europe…
Vertical Frontiers is run by experienced IFMGA Mountain Guide Ben Bradford. We are a team of Chamonix Mountain Guides & Ski Guides offering friendly, professional courses throughout the UK and Europe. Rock Climbing, Alpine Mountaineering and Skiing is our passion, both at work and pleasure.
Our Alpine base is Chamonix Mont Blanc, one of the most famous and popular mountaineering destinations in the world. Chamonix is also close to many other Alpine centres, and we travel to Grindalwald for the Eiger, Zermatt for the Matterhorn and other valleys in Switzerland for our Alpine Mountaineering course.
Our UK base on Dartmoor in Devon gives us access to some of the most picturesque and spectacular rock climbing in the UK. We run courses and trips here year round.
In the winter we offer Off Piste skiing and Ski Touring trips, within the Chamonix valley and nearby resorts such as Courmayeur, Verbier, Saint Gervais and Megeve.
We try to be as flexible as possible taking our clients to the best snow and venue for them and the conditions.
Chamonix is also home to the famous off piste run, the Vallee Blanche. We run many private trips as well as open courses for individuals wanting to join a group.
On Dartmoor, Devon and Chamonix, France our instructors and guides are qualified to a high standard and have extensive experience with a wide range of groups and abilities. With over fifteen years of experience in the outdoor industry both in the UK, Europe and on world-wide expeditions.
We run many private trips as well as open courses for individuals wanting to join a group. Check the news page to keep up to date with our blog.
Sampled some via ferrata exposure whilst we waited for the rock to dry out this morning.
Good training with @chrisdove2106 !

Some proper old school “traditional” climbing on the north arete of the Aiguille l’M today.
Traditional meaning off width cracks and chimneys. Climbing wall fitness not really a factor in getting up these things!
Great to stand on a summit with @chrisdove2106 - having rock climbed in the south-west together for years he’s finally out in #Chamonix

Cragging and scrambling with @chrisdove2106 / who led me up the classic via corda (a 600m scramble) in the afternoon.

A transition in into autumn climbing - Chamonix - Vertical Frontiers Mountain Guides

The classic alpine summer season is drawing to a end here in Chamonix. The hotels and lifts are starting to close and the alpine guides are comparing how many days they have left before holiday time. Conditions for climbing continue to be excellent though. Lot’s of warm dry weather and quiet route...Summit of the ‘Blanc with Jakub and Zac this morning.
Pretty lucky with the conditions at the moment. A good track and super light winds. No warm jacket required 😎
We’re in the Gouter Refuge tonight and then down to Chamonix after a lazy breakfast.
It’s our last #MontBlanc of the season. Probably.

All set and in position for #MontBlanc tomorrow. Conditions and weather look perfect.
Jakub and Zac ready and raring to go!
Last climb of the season for us. No train running now, so a longer walk than normal at the moment.
