What our guests say about Gearys Guiding
"Skied with Alex and Mado at Icefall lodge in 2022 and had a great time. They successfully walked that fine line between safety and the urge (of the clients) to get after it during a multi day storm cycle. Alex and Mado demonstrated humility, confidence and mentorship by treating us, the clients, as active and aware participants in an activity that will never be zero risk. They engaged the full group in updates and debriefs, treating the skiing as a learning experience for everyone. If you value that kind of dynamic, as our group did, then Geary's would be a good fit. They also had a great, easy going rapport with clients, practicum guides, and lodge staff, making sure we had a smooth and enjoyable week."

"Alex and his French tail guide (Xavier) took great care of my crew of six on an amazing week of ski tour through the Italian Alps in the Ortler region. Alex and Xavier kept us safe trevaling on skis in the glacier terrain, found some really fun ski lines with just enough adventure to keep things spicy!"

"We had an excellent experience climbing with Gearys Guiding. Alex and Madeleine guided the two of us on a stunning four-pitch route that was exactly what we were looking for. Both guides were warm, approachable, and easy to talk to, while remaining thorough and professional... Alex selected a route that matched our preferred grade and style perfectly."

"Signed up for Geary's Ultimate Everything course @ Icefall Lodge. Course did not disappoint. Owner guide Alex was very knowledgeable and provided fantastic guidance on best practices while balancing anecdotal experience from his 20+ years of guiding. Guide Phil Widmer provided fantastic leadership and patience throughout the week as well. Came out of the course with better travel habits, decision making and tangible crevasse rescue skills. Would highly recommend the course, the two guides and the lodge itself."
