My wife and I are planning a summer trip to Glen Coe in Scotland. Can anyone recommend a climbing guide company for Ben Nevis? We want to do one of the faces. Thank you!

I definitely recommend Sandy Allan http://www.teamascent.co.uk

Sandy was my guide for successful ascents of Cho Oyu and Everest. He and Rick Allen were co-winners of the Piolet d'Or in 2013 for the first ascent of the Mazeno Ridge on Nanga Parbat. Great guy, IAFGM certified, etc, etc. He guides a lot out of Chamonix but lives in Newtonmore in the Highlands.
