Forgot to post a photo of my Swiss Mountain Dog if anyone fancies meeting up for puppy socialization!!

I would have thought a dog like that would be more into red wine than beer.

What if the spawning gangs awa ?

He is - the beer is mine!

Hey Louise 

Im new to Geneva and general what the wonderful swiss alps has to offer. Plus surronding areas. 

I'd consider myself a beginner, but i've done bouldering and like hiking,  definitely something im keen to further explorer/develope and the idea of becoming more clued up outdoors is amazing.

Hi! I absolutely love alpinism and rock climbing, would love to connect! I'm moving to Geneva to do an internship in July, I'll keep an eye out for your initiative for sure(: 

Hi Sian,

If you're looking to get into mountaineering, climbing etc. you should come to our club meet in May.

https://www.alpinefix.com/womens-alpine-adventure-club-summer-2019

There will be lots of fellow newbies there looking to meet up with other women locally and also, more experienced to help share learning.

All the best, Louise.

Do come visit and have a climb. Give me a shout when you get here...be great to meet up.

only female?

i consider  myself to be an advanced alpinist and high altitude expedition climber. I do not however consider myself to be female. Planning on continuing the journey in Chamonix soon! 

Yes, Tony. Only female. Wonder why? Read this:

https://www.rei.com/blog/climb/new-survey-finds-nearly-one-third-of-respondents-have-experienced-sexual-harassment-or-assault-while-climbing

https://americanalpineclub.org/news/2018/8/24/aac-sexual-harassment-policy-statement

It is not only an issue of avoiding harrassment, but also of female beginning climbers learning and developing the confidence necessary for a challenging activity without the condescending attitude of males telling them how and with whom to climb.

Hi Tony,

Thanks. It isn't a sexist question. I don't believe your gender should have anything to do with climbing or alpine peaks.

I just said females as this particular club is just for females.

There are plenty of alpine organizations but I think they can be quite male dominated in terms of participation. It's not meant to be exclusive, just another opportunity for women to engage and share.

Good luck on your adventures.

Yes - it is a real issue. 

Thanks for sharing those links.

Hi Louise, Siam and Judith,

Nice to read your posts!

I also recently arrived to Geneva and like to hike, climb, snow shoe etc. I know how to (lead)climb and multi-pitch and want to explore the mountains. 

If any of you would like to meet, it would be nice to discover some green or snowy mountains together. 

I also have a puppy-horse for whom some dog socialisation would be good. 

Hi Naomi,

Welcome to Geneva! 

Sounds great. I've done some indoor bouldering in my time but never had the confidence to go outdoors.. would love to join you. 

Lets meet up and make plans. Im free saturday 23rd March if you are?

Best wishes

Sian

Hi there,

I'm currently closer to Briancon area at the moment, so a few hours from Geneva but I'd love to meet up and climb if you're over this way.

All the best, Louise.

Hi Louise!

Are you back in Geneva now? Will be keeping an eye on your websites for when covid craziness ends!

Cheers!

Hi Louise , 

Welcome to geneva :) 

I visited the link and it says there are no events for now. Can you please provide more details on this ?

I am currently based out of Geneva and look forward to do some hiking in the summers as soon the corona crisis ends :) Any further information on the treaks that you do would be helpful. 

Thanks ! 

Regards,

Ashwini

Your dog has me at hello! What a cute pumpkin.

Hi Diya ????

I am Edoardo. I'm based in Geneva and I'm a Mountain and Yoga enthusiasts. Frankly speaking I was looking for a group like this and I would like to participate to hiking or mountaineering initiatives this summer. If you will keep me in the loop I will appreciate.

looking forward your feedback and information 

cheers 

Edoardo

Hi. I tried to join this group but they specifically only want female climbers. I am available for alpine climbing any time starting late July 

Hello Louise, 

I do love the outdoor and went for a 5 hour hike last weekend. I do not climb but I am eager to learn. And join yoga + climbing sounds excellent ! Let me know when you have your next outing. 

I checked your (beautiful) website but the page does not function.

See you soon ?
Valerie

Hello to everyone,

I love the idea of combining yoga and hiking and I would definitely be interested to meet up with like minded people for a day trip into the mountains close to Geneva.

Feel free to reach out to me :)

Nina
