Guy Robertson and Hamish Frost
Guy Robertson lives in Aberdeen, Scotland, where he works as a low carbon project manager. He has put up new rock and winter climbs in regions as diverse as Africa, the Middle East, the Alps, Peru, Norway and the Greater Himalaya. However, it is for his Scottish winter exploits he is best known, having been active at the forefront of Scottish winter climbing for many years. Guy has an enduring passion for writing and storytelling in mountaineering and, in addition to his books The Great Mountain Crags of Scotland (Vertebrate Publishing, 2014) and Banff award-winning The Great Sea Cliffs of Scotland (Scottish Mountaineering Press, 2020), has had a number of essays published in the Scottish Mountaineering Club Journal, the American Alpine Journal and UK-based climbing magazines.
Hamish is a photographer, filmmaker, and climber based in Scotland. He has worked with leading outdoor brands across a broad spectrum of mountain sports, but is best known for documenting the drama and adventure of Scottish winter climbing. Experienced in handling the brutal conditions often encountered in the Highlands, he’s most at home battling the elements with camera in hand, capturing real days in the mountains. His work includes photographing numerous hard first ascents in Scotland and exploratory climbing expeditions to remote corners of the world.
