Background

A life in the mountains.

Tomas started climbing on the sea cliffs of Bohuslän in Sweden and moved to Chamonix in 2010 to be closer to granite. He qualified as a guide in 2015 and has led our rock programme since.

He believes good footwork fixes most problems on rock. His foundation courses spend a full morning on slabs before anyone ties into a lead rope, and his multi-pitch days in the Dolomites are known for clean, unhurried rope handling.

When it rains he is usually at the bouldering wall in Les Houches, setting problems for the local kids' club.
