You climb.
Everything else
is done.
Small hosted ice climbing weeks in the Alps. The house, the food, the logistics, the crew — and a professional photographer on the ice with you all week. From £745.
The trip I always wanted to be on.
Every good climbing trip dies the same death: fourteen messages about hire cars, a spreadsheet nobody fills in, and the mate who was "definitely coming" until the deposit was due.
So I built the trip I always wanted to be on. You book, you pack, you fly. When you land there's a warm house, a stocked kitchen, a plan for the week and a crew of people who climb like you do.
I ran the first one in January. It worked. Now it's a thing.
Three moves to the ice.
I'm your host and photographer, not your guide. On guided days, qualified IFMGA mountain guides run the climbing. On crew days, you climb as your own party.
One price. The whole week.
Not included — flights, travel insurance (mandatory: it must cover ice climbing and mountain rescue), personal climbing kit (hire available locally), and the bar tab.
Go home with proof.
Every trip has a professional photographer on the ice, all week. Not a phone at the belay — an actual shoot: long lens from the ropes, the swing, the send, the sunrise walk-ins, the kitchen chaos. You get 50+ edited photographs of yourself climbing, and the whole crew gets the film. This is what I do for a living the rest of the year. On these weeks, I do it for you.
Seven days, one rhythm.
Conditions decide the details. That's ice climbing. There is always a plan B within an hour's drive.
Your host. Your guides.
Sascha has climbed for twenty years — trad, sport and ice — and photographs sport for a living, with a broadcast background that runs through World Cups and the Olympics. He organised and hosted the January Écrins trial, which is why this page exists.
Guided days run with certified IFMGA mountain guides — the highest qualification in mountaineering — at a maximum of two climbers per guide on ice.

In their words.
Real quotes from the January guests are being collected — with written consent, first names and grades. Nothing here will be paraphrased, and nothing will be stock.
Asked, answered.
You topped out.
New dates drop here first.
One email a month in season, zero otherwise. If your dates don't fit yet, this is where the next ones land — Écrins, Rjukan and Cogne.
