Our climb of Gros Piton was a wonderful experience. We were collected from our hotel promptly by our driver who was relaxed, easy company and drive us safely and competently to the mountain and back. He even bought us a celebratory beer afterwards!
Our climb was led by Cameron. We are both late 50s and reasonably fir but not fast. Cameron's easy relaxed manner inspired confidence and made him pleasant company. He willingly shared his local knowledge of the flora and fauna as we climbed adding extra historical details which were fascinating. His enthusiasm was infectious! He patiently explained each stage if the climb; timings and what to expect which made it easy to adjust to the demands of the ascent. I really found this helpful. For me, the descent was the most difficult but not once did I feel I couldn't manage. The day was hard work but not impossible and definitely worth doing. The whole day was exhilaration and the views breath-taking. Highly recommend this trip! Best wishes, Ann Comments are closed.
