Valentine on the Grand Pointe du Bizard at sunset. A long approach on bike and skis! long hours at the moment for a book on bivouac huts! It’s coming together.. 200 pages written keep an eye out on https://t.co/iOnArDyidy. info and pre-orders soon…!

Valentine on the traverse of Grand Cornier from Bivouac au Col de la Dent Blanche in winter! . If your friends or family are strange people then they might just like the guidebook I recently published on the 4000m peaks… link in Bio or info at https://t.co/iOnArDyQ36.

Last weekend, Valentine and I headed up Monte Rocciamelone (3538m) to spend the night in the austere chapel-refuge on the summit. The sky was clear, and it was forecast to be well below freezing on the summit. It was cold...! see IG for full story!

Misha Gopaul and Stuart Johnston out with me hunting bivouacs in the Adamello region in northern Italy last year. We managed to reach Bivacco Giannantonj in a short window of good weather between raging storms!

Another fine off-season alpine adventure to recommend – Torre di Lavina SW ridge in the eastern corner of the Gran Paradiso national park… right now there’s probably too much snow at that altitude already, but it’s worth remembering for spring or summer!

Jerome Guggisberg and Polly Harmer on the south ridge of Punta Garin above Cogne, Italy. The high mountains are already covered in a blanket of snow, and even a simple ridge climb can become an epic endeavour as winter approaches!

Tête de Pelvas and Bivacco Salvasera on the border of the French Queyras and Italian Piemonte. While gently recovering from the chaos of launching the new 4000m guidebook I’m just starting to get to work on the next book on the finest bivouac huts of the Alps.
