I am a British alpinist based in Chamonix, France. I spend most my time in the high mountains either ski mountaineering or alpine climbing.
In the past year I have made eight first ascents. One of these was a major mixed route on Trango II (6,327m) called Waa Shakil (6b/M5) in Pakistan. One was a 750m traditional rock climb (7b+, R) called “Mental Breakdown” on the Father Tower in the Mythic Cirque, Greenland. Four were new rock routes on unclimbed spires between 4,500m and 5,100m. And the rest were new lines on previously visited towers.
This winter I have also made three first descents. All of these in the Alps, close to my home, steep and exposed in nature. Stratonsphèrique on the Aiguille d’Argentiere (5.4), North East Ramp on Epaule Sallière (5.3) and Le Z on Grande Fourche (5.3).
My ambition is to inspire women to pursue an interest in alpinism. I want to influence girls to go from indoor climbing to outdoors using the experience gained from my professional climbing career.
Hello I will never forget your joy for life and your great passion for the mountains. I will take you to the mountains in my thoughts. You have opened up people's dreams. Thank you. With alpine greetings Raphael Wellig
You guys are insane!! I come home from school and watch these clips and it fills me with excitement for what is out there. You are an inspiration and I hope your stories reach other girls who long for adventure too.
That was unexpectedly good film that you made (unexpected because of the low view count). It was a new and deep point of view man and woman stereotypes even in the mountaineering. Keep up the good work!
Fay, Line - thank you so much for that undescribable strength, cheerfulness and beauty! I cannot find words to describe how much you're inspiring me since I discovered you on AlpenFilmFestival last year. It grieves me so much, that I will never have the chance to meet Line 🥀 But her powerful message -which is also yours, Fay, reaches me nevertheless. It encourages me to keep going to become an Alpinist, a female person in the mountains. To believe in myself and go for it! 🙏Again, thank you. You are gorgeous ! ❤🔥
Thank you so much for these compassionate and heart warming words. I hope you have managed to find some female partners too and that you will keep pushing yourself in the mountains 🙏🫶💪💕

@@climbermacleod she loved playing around on her axes with you in your boulder room. “Have you tried this Dave?”. She made me so happy that day, telling you about how she was going to write a book and sharing all her plans.
Thank you Kacey. The most precious things in life are not those you get for money. Line gave me so many precious memories and I will forever be grateful for that.
"Energy will do anything that can be done in the world; and no talents, no circumstances, no opportunities will make a two-legged animal a man without it". Line gave me so much energy in mountaineering. She gave energy to everyone that surrounded her.
