Rob Frost - Guiding Trans-Alpine Expeditions
-
Narrated by:

Written by:
From school tramping clubs to epic trans-alpine expeditions, Rob Frost has spent a lifetime exploring the wild backcountry of Aotearoa New Zealand. An engineer turned mountain-guide, photographer, and author of the award-winning Aoraki Tai Poutini – A Guide for Mountaineers, Rob shares how early experiences above the tree line sparked a fascination with remote routes and self-sufficiency.
In this episode we talk about:
- Misadventures that became defining lessons — and why “adventure is a sign of incompetence.”
- Surviving blizzards, storms and nine-day epics in the Southern Alps.
- How guiding with Mountain Journeys blends tramping and mountaineering into something uniquely Kiwi.
- Writing, mentoring, and the enduring influence of Geoff Spearpoint.
A thoughtful conversation about humility in the hills, learning from mistakes, and finding joy in hard journeys.
