“What a brilliant trip! Excellent organisation both beforehand and during the trip itself. Staggeringly beautiful area and very well paced trip to really enjoy it. Light touch leadership from Ian but very competent indeed. I cannot recommend Mountain-Skills.com highly enough – much better to my mind than bigger impersonal organisations but every bit as professional. A great bunch of Sherpas too which really fitted into the whole ethos of the trip.” Dr TH – Island Peak Trip
