About the Author

Anselme Baud was born in Morzine in 1948 and became a mountain guide in 1973. He was the first to ski an impressive number of great faces in the Alps including the north face of the Aiguille Blanche de Peuterey and the north face of the Aiguille du Midi, among others. In addition to his work at ENSA, Anselme also regularly runs expeditions across the globe and has successfully climbed the 'Seven Summits' (the highest summit of each continent) with clients.
