Mountain Guide
Wanaka (NZ) & Interlaken (Switzerland)
I am originally from Tokoroa, New Zealand, but I'm now based in Interlaken, Switzerland. I started rock climbing at 19 years and moved on to alpine climbing two years later.
I began guiding in 2003 and am now a fully qualified IFMGA Climbing and Ski Guide. Apart from having extensive experience in New Zealand's Southern Alps, I also know the European Alps very well.
When guiding, I enjoy helping people achieve their dreams: whether it is climbing a summit or acquiring the skills to travel in the mountains. I like watching the dawn turn into a sunrise high on a summit when most people are still asleep and, when rock climbing, I enjoy unlocking a sequence that seemed impossible at first.
When not climbing, I like to ski long, steep, deep powder runs.

Tim was a great guide. I had an amazing time and experienced some great routes. We packed in a lot of different styles of climbing for a single day trip, and Tim did a wonderful job of selecting routes that would challenge me while keeping them obtainable and exciting. He also took time to provide training in areas I have been working on. He covered lead climbing techniques as well as proper safety measures. I highly recommend Tim as a guide, and hope there’s a chance to climb with him in the future. I expect I’ll be returning to Interlaken and will plan for more days of climbing when I do.
