Nick founded Mountain Tracks in 2000. He is a member of the British Mountain Guides and has been a full IFMGA Mountain Guide since 1987.

He has been leading mountain expeditions on skis and on foot for almost 20 years and he has journeyed with clients to some of the most remote corners of the globe.

As a director of Mountain Tracks, my aim is to pass on my passion for the mountains and provide a superb mountain experience to match clients’ aspirations at all levels.

Over the last 20 years I have skied and climbed all over the world: from chasing powder in Russia to scaling dry rock in Yosemite and climbing vertical ice in Cogne.

"Mountain Tracks is an innovative and personal company, and it’s great to be involved. Our trips always offer undiluted and genuine mountain adventure. As a group of UIAGM guides we have more expertise in off-piste and ski touring than any company and our clients benefit from this.

It all started for me on the gritstone edges of my home county Derbyshire. By mid–teens I was hooked on climbing and the mountains. Many adventures and expeditions followed including notable new routes on Greenland’s big walls. In the 90’s I spent many years leading mountaineering expeditions in the greater ranges and summited on many high peaks of the Himalaya and the Andes. In the winter of 2008 I completed a winter ascent of the North face of the Eiger.

In his own words:
"I am a full time IFMGA guide, living year-round in the Chamonix valley. Having been climbing, skiing and mountaineering for over 20 years, my adventures have taken me to the Canadian Rockies, Tien Shan, Peruvian Andes, New Zealand's southern alps and rock climbing in Australia. My passion for climbing started in Scotland before taking me to the European Alps where I have done the majority of my climbing & skiing."

Dylan is a 34 year old Mountain Guide from the USA who has worked with Mountain Tracks in the Alps for the past 2 years.

In his own words:
I work as a mountain guide and photographer. I have been guiding for 9 years, and achieved my IFMGA license in 2007. The IFMGA international certification is the highest obtainable certification in the guiding industry. Before guiding, I attended Western Washington University from 1998 to 2000, where I earned my M.S. in Geology. From that point on I have guided both domestically and internationally for a number of U.S. and international guide services

I first visited the Alps at the age of 17 and immediately fell in love with the mountains. Since then I have taken every opportunity to climb and in 2003 I quit my career as an officer in the British Army to spend more time in the mountains. Over the years I have climbed around the world from the frozen mountains of the Antarctic to the giants of the Himalayas and quite a few places in between.

Achievements have included summitting Mount Everest, making first ascents on South Georgia, and climbing numerous Alpine test-pieces including the North Faces of the Eiger, Matterhorn, Grandes Jorasses and Les Droites (solo). Equally at home on rock, ice, mixed or on skis, I just enjoy being in the mountains. I am based in Chamonix in the French Alps and hope I can share my passion for the mountains with you.

I'm a IFMGA British Mountain Guide and after many years living and working in the Scottish Highlands I am now more recently based in the Chamonix valley.
I've been a keen climber and skier for over 20 years, mostly exploring the peaks and cliffs of Europe and the UK.

Throughout the time I've spent in the mountains I've really enjoyed the challenge of finding and bringing about the best sense of adventure and learning experience for the folk that I'm with from the prevailing conditions at the time.

"Hi. I'm an IFMGA guide living full time in the Chamonix valley for the last 6 years. Although my background is as a Scottish winter scratcher, big wall dude and expedition mountaineer, I now spend more time wearing ski boots than rock boots! I get a massive kick out of sharing the mountains with everyone I climb and ski with."
