Italian High Level Trek
By: Melinda Jones, Chigwell, Essex
The guides were very professional and although they made the trip fun, they were also very safety conscious. It was my first time using crampons and ice axe and I had so much fun. The views were breathtaking despite poor weather on a couple of days. The sense of achievement will stay with me longer than our warm weather holiday we are about to take.

An amazing trip, unforgettable. My first time on a glacier and my first 4000m peak.

I am constantly judged and scored on my performance every day, so it is difficult not to be dissapointed. I had come with a wish list of aims and objectives and for once not only were all of these meet but resoundingly exceeded. The excellent leadership of Kathy and Tim added to this experience, together with a great group who pulled and worked well together.

The holiday fitted my expectations. Excellent client care with some push over personal comfort zones.

All admin couldn't have been better. I also booked an extra 3 days to help acclimatise. My hotel was booked through KE with no problems. KE staff gave me options for my 3 solo walks. Excellent ideas to get me started. Kathy (our leader) was great. I also thought Tim (our second leader) was excellent. I think both took us to what we thought were our limits and then got us to do a bit more. I felt very safe and found them both to be approachable and very knowledgeable. I have been on 3 Alpine trips before and this was the one on which I achieved most. The scenery was unbelievable. I enjoyed going beyond my comfort zone and doing the uncomfortable things e.g .ridge between Breithorn and Breithorn Central. The crevasse crossings on the Grenz Glacier had me feeling fully alive. Watching the guides at work in a difficult situation was inspiring. The desserts in the Rifugio Guglielmina were amazing.
