My camera roll after one week in Chamonix…🏔️

So fun story…

Chamonix is the place that my adventures I share on IG began. Let me tell you why…🙏

In 2021 I was studying in France on a year abroad and top of my bucket list for the year was ‘LEARN TO SKI’. So I organised an Airbnb in Chamonix with some friends having NO IDEA how to ski and that I’d placed us - pre season btw - in Argentiere (ie, not beginner runs lol)

And whilst it was a challenge. Here, I learned to ski. And from this decided how I wanted to change my life trajectory after uni, moving to Canada and doing a ski season. 

It was here I fell in love with hiking, and planted the seed for what is now my climbing journey too. Fast forward four years and here I am living my dream life.

Returning to Chamonix and was a little emotional, it was where my incredible life began. And I was returning now with so many new skills and years worth of fantastic memories in the outdoors.

And boy did Chamonix live up this time too. I spent the entire week climbing and camping with new friends I met out there - crazily enough everyone was from Yorkshire like me!

I was reminded once more how special the climbing community is, how at home I feel within it, how much the people truly shine as my favourite in the whole world.

I climbed three multi’s, leading a 6b pitch, and taking some big whips. It was the hardest I’ve ever climbed and I am so proud of myself. 🥰

Chamonix really is that good. I curse the people who ripped away the opportunity for me to live and work here freely due to Brexit…but alas there are many more places to explore in the world and that will certainly do 🌍

If you made it here, thanks for reading. This week was a particularly special one. 

Much much love to sammyplumm for being my awesome multi partner, and emilygoesclimbing - the energy that you and Chris bring is magnetic and it was genuinely so wonderful to share a little slice of this summer with you.

And to fergus_j_  who I’ve spent the past 3 weeks with, experiencing some of the best views of my life.

The addiction is getting pretty serious now…🧗‍♀️
