In reply to Simon Trusty Dunn:
I don't have any experience to back any of what I say up but: my first reaction was, is this a joke?
Everything seems doable from the comfort of the sofa while you're looking at guided packages. But get real. If you've no experience they could very well take your money, get you 40% of the way, and then tell you they're unable to continue. Sorry, no refunds, we're paid to attempt, not to guarantee success.
There's always a bit of a misconception that having a guide compensates for a lack of just about anything else, and that's simply not true, and can often result in a failed trip - I have heard this from guides themselves.
My feelings are that you should enjoy some of the winter climbs the country you're in has to offer first, before undertaking a technical, serious alpine climb on an infamous mountain. However, I'm happy to be corrected by anyone who knows better.
You're obviously very fit and active, and probably as good a climber as any novice could hope to be, it would be a real shame to waste a trip. Get up some Scottish technical routes first I say. I know that's what I'd do.
