Back in September last year we began looking fresh talent that could help us promote Marmot’s alpine clothing and equipment which is growing exceptionally fast in popularity here in the UK.
The hunt was on to find a new UK athlete based in the Alps and who was pushing the boundaries of hard Alpine climbing. A tip off headed up coming from one of UKclimbing’s gear reviewers called Jon Griffith who is based in Chamonix and knew of two up and coming alpine climbers.
After some careful research and some very positive recommendations we finally came across not just one, but two new athletes.
It gives me great pleasure introducing Gavin Pike and Will Sim to the Marmot UK team. You are going to be seeing plenty of images and stories about these guys and what they have been get up to over the year ahead.
Below are a selection of images of both Gavin and Will in action on a number a hard Alpine lines in the Chamonix area.

You can also see what else Will has been getting up to on ski's and with his axes on Alpine Exposures website: http://www.alpineexposures.com/blogs/chamonix-conditions
A big thanks you goes out to Jon Griffith for allowing us to use his image of Will in action.
