What with the staggering number of challenging summits to reach, Switzerland is the birthplace of mountaineering guiding, but the valuable practice has since spread worldwide. From Houssain Braim in Morocco to Carlos Verdeguer in Peru, mountaineering guides dot the world and they eagerly anticipate your arrival; nothing brings them greater satisfaction than assisting travellers up the peaks of their local area’s breathtaking mountains. Go on, watch the following video, but be warned: one, it’s a little nerve wracking; two, you’re guaranteed to find yourself wanting to do just what Joshua Pennell (the man featured in this video) is doing ASAP. And all we can say to that is, “Be our guest, but hire a mountaineering guide!”
