I had a great time climbing with Sébastien. I changed the stay due to the weather and was able to find dry rock in rainy weather. Throughout the stay, Sébastien not only offered me numerous climbs, but also helped me improve my skills.
I gained increased skills and confidence in ice climbing, as well as mountaineering skills. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and encouraging. I can't wait to work with Seb again.
Thanks to Sebastien L you are pushing your limits! Demanding but attentive, he will take you to discover landscapes off the beaten track... with a cool attitude. In short, a great guide!
