Heather Florence

Languages Spoken: English & French

Guide Since: 2012

Heather Florence was raised in the north of England and developed her love of the mountains early while on family hiking trips in North Wales and the Lake District. The lure of the mountains eventually led her to Chamonix, France, where she has lived for the last 10 years. When not leading trips, Heather travels around the world visiting the most spectacular places to go rock climbing. She's climbed El Capitan in Yosemite, the Totem pole in Tasmania, and desert towers in Jordan.

Heather was great! She is incredibly skilled in the mountains. We had no doubt that with her on our team of leaders, that we would have a great time and be able to get up and down the mountain successfully! I appreciated her knowledge, kindness, and organization.
