Ski.

The joys of a rewarding effort, itineraries that are safe and secluded. A harmony with nature and an untouched environment to explore.

This is Gee’s specialty, one that he practices all over Europe and worldwide, for the pleasure of taking you skiing far from the crowds.

Whether you seek moments of isolation, or steep untouched descents, or a challenging climb, your desires will be met.

Alpinism.

Following the ridge line, a snow-capped shoulder, or ice falls and rock, there is always a path that leads to elevation and a discovery of the different faces of the mountain.

Suggestions for some of the classic courses :

Mont Blanc via the Goûter hut (normal route). Anticipate 3 days if your experience and acclimatization is sufficient. The 5 day formula caters for novice or less experienced alpinists.

Grand Paradis, well-known for being the “easiest” of the 4000m of the Alps. Live the experience of a journey to Italy, on the doorstep of the Aosta valley. Encounter the simple and delicious pleasures of observing a rustic panorama in high altitude.

Mont Rose is a plateau on the Swiss-Italian border between Zermatt and Cervinia, north of the Alps. Several 4000m peaks are concentrated amongst this high altitude plateau that revitalises and regenerates your lungs and energy.

Alpirunning.

After participating three times in the UTMB: CCC, TDS and UTMB, as well as international races such as the Diagonale des Fous, Gee has acquired an experience that he wishes to combine with alpinism.

Speed in the mountains is synonymous with efficiency and risk reduction. This does not mean forgoing the basics of alpinism; on the contrary, it’s knowing how to combine obligatory fundamentals with one’s maximum physical capabilities.

A fast pace calls for necessary basic equipment. It is also essential to know one another well before engaging in this type of activity, which is why an initial preparation outing together is offered to best adjust and guarantee a successful project.

Examples of Alpirunning itineraries : Mont Blanc normal route, Domes des écrins, Domes de Miages, Aiguille du tour, Grand paradis…

High Altitude Goal.

My first 4000m - The list is endless within the Alps, there are more than 82 that are over 4000m. Each have their own features. Let’s discuss your wishes and expectations in order to find the most spectacular itinerary.

My first 5000m - Mount Elbrus in Russia peaks at 5642m. It is the highest summit of the European borders. Its ascent is accessible for many alpinists that know the basics of glacial courses as well as having a generally good fitness level.

My first 6000m - The Aconcagua 6962m is the best known, being a part of the 7 summits challenge consisting of reaching the highest summits of each continent. Bolivia itself is amongst those with many summits over 6000m, within easy reach of La Paz.

Denali, previously known as McKinley, is the highest mountain of North America. Situated in central Alaska in the United States, it culminates at an altitude of 6190m.

My first 7000m - Lenin peak, situated on the border between Tadjikistan and Kyrgystan, is known as the most accessible 7000m on earth, and the second highest summit of the Pamir chain in Central Asia, neighbour of Khan Tagri and Mustagh Ata.

Unusual.

Gee’s specialty is that he neither likes routine nor boredom. He is open to all propositions, be they extravagant or atypical:

• Night in a portaledge on a cliff in Annecy, dent de Crolles or in the Vercors.

• Fondue at 4000m facing the Cervin

• Night in an Igloo with a rustic dinner

• Up to you to write the rest!
