WHAT WE DO
Our Services
Our promise is to look after our clients in the pursuit of assured experiences, doing everything we can to reduce the risk in an increasingly uncertain world. It is this promise that genuinely sets us apart from those marketing on another adventure alone.
Our assured training aims to equip independent climbers, mountaineers and alpinists with the skills to mitigate risk in the mountains for themselves. We firmly believe that the role of a guide is not only a companion on technical climbs, but that of an instructor, educator and coach.
Finally assured expertise is the banner under which we assist individual leaders, instructors, guides and providers, to be the best that they can be at risk mitigation in their own areas of operation. We also have a responsibility to assist the next generation of guides and instructors who will continue to share the finest mountaineering experiences of the future.
