What our clients say

  • I don't go up into the mountains to be macho, nor for trophies or bragging rights. I just want to see and experience sublime solitude that I can't reach on my own. Dave takes me there, and he does so with supreme skill and thoughtfulness
    — Nick
  • Through Dave’s immense skills, knowledge, ability, competence and confidence, I was able to achieve a lifetime’s ambition of climbing the Matterhorn at the age of 62. The big day went off safely and without hitch, all in the time scale which Dave set. All thanks to the extraordinary skills of Dave Sharpe – Mountain Guide and Gentleman
    — Stephen Riley
  • I have spent multiple days in the mountains with Sharpe Guides – skiing, ice climbing and rock climbing. Dave chooses great routes and it’s clear that every day out is very carefully planned. Dave is very professional and I always feel safe with him. I would absolutely recommend booking with Sharpe Guides and look forward to more bespoke guiding in the future.
