About

My name is Ben O Connor Croft, I’m a fully qualified IFMGA (UIAGM) mountain guide, based out of Chamonix-Mont-Blanc. I provide high mountain experiences to people aspiring to reach their dreams, be that in off-piste skiing, rock climbing, ice climbing, or alpinism. Catering for everyone, from total beginner to the accomplished. Whether you’re looking for skills courses, or to complete a dream route, trips can be tailored to your needs and desires. I was accepted into the ENSA French guides school in 2015, widely attributed as having the most difficult entrance exams of any guides school anywhere in the world. Since fully qualifying in 2019, I have worked around the world, in Ecuador, Saudi Arabia and Nepal, on varying projects from exciting first ascents, to creating mountain climbing schools, and working on virtual reality film shoots. Drawing from my experiences in many different mountain disciplines I am confident to give you the experience you desire, whether you want to push yourself to your limits, learn your capacities in the mountains, or simply find peace in solitude in a high alpine environment. Please get in touch if you’d like to find out more!
