2-day ice climbing course in the Ecrins

Robin was everything you want in a guide: competent, congenial, and careful though seemingly casual. He taught my daughter to belay and allowed me to lead. He was wonderfully patient in letting us figure out a problem rather than tell us how to solve it. We had a wonderful Day 1 tackling short pitches, as I had requested. Day 2, however, was a terrible disappointment. I had asked that we spend it on a multi pitch route, and had high hopes for a challenging day out as my daughter had told Robin on Day 1 she would not be joining us. Since the forecast included rain later, Robin and I met at 7:45am. But the route, while multi pitch, was more walking/scrambling than climbing, so that we made it back to our cars in less than 2 hours. I was shocked to learn we were finished for the day. Given what I paid, this was poor value. I would not be able to recommend Explore-Share as a result.

Nice climb. Run into a bad weather at gorges du Verdon. Was able to change to another climb near Cassis. The view is pretty. Explore share response is quick.

Robins knowledge, experience and manner made us feel so safe. Best day of our holiday. Fantastic, would 100% recommend

Robin was very kind, flexible and professional! I had a wonderful time on the most beautiful climbing route Ive been on in Europe

Climbing w Robin in the Gorges Verdon area was a dream come true. Robin is a fun guide to be with. He's very knowledgeable of the routes very safe in his practice and a very strong climber who makes it look easy. We did 2 long multi pitch routes that make me want to come back again and bring my friends.
