Having left my beloved Alps to study in London for a year I was feeling a certain amount of skill fade and was keen to refresh and retrain my alpine skills before returning to Chamonix. Gabriel’s online coaching sessions were incredible. We covered skills from glacier travel, crevasse rescue, anchor building and mental training, all in a remote environment, with a structured training plan and videos for self-learning. Now back in the Alps, I’m looking forward to hitting some big projects with Gab! Would 100% recommend Gab as a guide to anyone who loves to learn, and push themselves in terms of body and mind.
Thanks Gabriel for a productive course over our four sessions on Zoom. I learnt so much - from the mental and physical exercises through to the useful tips and instruction on glacier travel, crevasse rescue, efficient knot tying and use of crampons and ice axe. All providing a pathway for making alpine travel a safer experience and rope management second nature.
I recently did a block of online mentorship with Gabriel. After an initial chat to work out where I was in terms of techniques and experience, we covered skills such as roping up for glaciers, crevasse rescue, various knots and also some mental exercises. It’s great to practice and get these skills completely honed in so you are totally prepared once you arrive in the mountains. As these sessions are personally tailored, both beginner and experienced climbers can learn lots from them. Thanks Gabriel, see you in the mountains soon!
