Winter Toubkal Climb

My Kilimanjaro expedition with Jagged Globe, led by Tim Bird, remains the best mountain trip I've ever been on. Since then I've climbed Aconcagua and several other mountains with different expedition companies, and nothing has matched the incredible experience.

From start to finish, the trip was meticulously organised and ran incredibly smoothly. I always felt completely safe and really well looked after. Tim kept a close eye on everyone throughout the expedition, making sure we were coping well with the altitude and taking the time to check in on each person regularly. His depth of experience was obvious, but what stood out most was how much he genuinely cared about the group. He's an exceptional guide, with a level of experience, judgement and genuine care that sets him apart from anyone else I've climbed with.

Tim was also fascinating to spend time with. I learnt so much from him - not just about mountaineering and expedition life, but about life more broadly. His wife joined the trip as well and she was a wonderful addition. I was also fortunate to be part of an amazing group of people, which made the experience even more memorable.

Having climbed with other companies since, the difference in standards has become even more apparent. Jagged Globe's experience, thoroughness and genuine care for their climbers shines through at every stage of an expedition. They are true experts and, in my opinion, one of the best expedition companies in the world. I would love to climb with them again.

We have traveled twice with Jagged Globe to Nepal to complete the Annapurna Circuit and the Everest Base Camp Trek. Both trips were excellent. Jagged Globe have experienced and knowledgeable guides on the ground and their UK based team are friendly and very helpful. Sadly we had to cancel a trip at short notice this year because of medial reasons and Jagged Globe were supportive and professional. A true test of a business is when things don't go according to plan and Jagged Globe were brilliant when we had to cancel. Professionally planned itineraries, brilliant local guides and great care taken over the welfare of the local teams. I cannot speak highly enough of them and would not hesitate to use them again. These trips are 'once in a lifetime' experiences and I believe travelling with Jagged Globe makes sure you get the maximum possible chance of success and enjoyment. Worth every penny!

Professional and fun at the same time. I have been with Jagged Globe on a number of trips now ranging from Scottish winter mountaineering, to rock climbing in Wales and mountaineering in the Alps. All of them were great. Dealt with the people in the office a number of times, always very efficient and friendly.The mountain instructors are very experienced, take the mountains super serious but are great fun at the same time. Group numbers are kept small enough to make sure you have the full attention of the instructors, yet still big enough to have a good atmosphere as well. Logistics are well looked after, and the Haute Route which has quite some logistics to it, ran like clockwork. Looking forward to head out into the very big mountains (Himalayas) with them next year.
