I attended the level one mountaineering course and it was all I hoped it would be. Despite some poor weather, Jamie made sure that we made the most of each day and covered all the planned skills. There were also only three students so the safety and personal aspect of the course is outstanding. He also is very willing to cover any specific skills in more detail if you have particular requests. The accommodation was also excellent. Thanks Jamie!

I had the pleasure of taking part in a 2.5 day Avalanche/ski touring course with Jamie and am extremely happy with how it all went. The level of professionalism and flexibility in difficult weatherconditions shown by Jamie out on the mountain was excellent and his knowledge of snow conditions/terrain cannot be faulted. I have learned so much from this course with regards to how you should approach a day in avalanche terrain that will be invaluable in the future. On a personal note, Jamie is very easy to get on with, always willing to help and to explain things. I highly recommend this course for anyone that spends time in the mountains away from the marked trails. The accommodation is also great, everything you need for a great trip.

I have been on several courses med Valdres Fjellguider (*Valdres Fjellguider is the Norwegian version of Alpine dragons.), both randonee, glacier and mini alpine course including avalanche and climbing. Jamie is an exceptionally good tour leader, guide and course holder. He is knowledgeable, always well prepared, focused on safety and good rote choice, is flexible and positive in all types of weather and terrain, and last but not least, he is enthusiastic with the actual trip experience - the pleasure of being out and experiencing nature's big and small wonder. It will be great trips! Recommended! (Translated from Norwegian)

Firstly I want to thank you again for a superb few days. Everything about the course was what I was hoping for - the climbing, the accommodation, and being able to completely disconnect from work for a few days. I'll certainly be back for more ice climbing when the season comes back around again.

Hey Jamie
Just wanted to say thank you for an amazing course and adventure.! I had a hell of a good time climbing ice/mixed and was challenged both mentally, psychically and learn alot at the same time. It seemed that you were a good mentor for all of us, even though we came from different climbing backgrounds and had some of the same goals and a few individually goals aswell, which you took very seriously and professionally. As you said yourself, it would have been nice to have a "mountain" trek day, but i still enjoyed the avalanche day.

best regards
