Progression are on top of the World - yes we do mean Everest!

Our old friend Chris Harling eventually got around to sending us some photos of his successful climb of Mount Everest. It is about five years since he managed it but we thought we would share a couple of photos with you. We helped him out with some kit back then and all we got were these lousy photos from him!! Brilliant effort by the big guy. One day we might even get him on our team as a Guide de Haute Montagne.

Beyond Limits Article - Nice piece on Progression

Somebody loves us! We skied with a few journalists in early December and Ken is now strutting his tuff around town as we speak! We didnt even pay for this. Promise.

"I could now enjoy the full gamut of ski opportunities in Val D’Isére, guided by Ken from Progression Ski School. I’ve come across a lot of instructors and coaches in skiing, and Ken is one of the best: relaxed and professional whilst individually adapting his teaching style to each client. He kept us moving and gave us each something different to work on (no mean feat in a mixed ability group, I can assure you!). Effective drills, with chair-lift-chat being a mix of conversation, resort information and ski-technique made for a great day on snow"

They were staying at the beautiful Chardon Mountain Lodges and if you are interested here is the full article:

Andy Kirkpatrick @psycovertical is well worth the price of the ticket. Catch him if you can.

We went along to see Andy Kirkpatrick on Sunday night. A mountaineer and author with an alternate view and style to the usual lectures in this mould. More a self depreciating comic than egotistical pro climber. Even if climbing isn't your thing his talk is well worth it if you can make it. Check out his website http://www.andy-kirkpatrick.com/speaking/ for details.
