I want to do a trip to the Alps this June, between 17th and 27th. I've done PD grade climbs before in the Alps, but not experienced enough to lead. Can anyone recommend a guided trip? Or would anyone like to team up and hire a guide?

I should add something about my experience. Used to lead E1 in the UK until a few years ago. Plenty of hill walking experience, and been ice climbing a handful of times. Done one summer Alps trip (10 years ago now), hut-to-hut for several days up at 4000m, can't remember the grade but probably no more than PD.

46 years old.

Any partcular area?

Generally - why not join a local club who are planning a trip, climb with them in the UK in the spring and get to know them first. Should be more fun (and cheaper than hiring a guide), and you'd learn much more.

I'll be out in Chamonix over that time, but I'm not really up for guides. I've got decent alpine experience and kit, would be happy to team up.
