Introduction to Winter Mountaineering
This course is for those who wish to learn rope work associated with winter ridges and exposed slopes leading to ridges and cols.
The evening workshop introduces rope-work and equipment associated with the winter environment. It’s a hands on approach not only on the Friday evening but on the mountain too. We begin the mountain day with a brief refresher on self arrest, cramponing and avalanche awareness; we review rope work from the evening before and then introduce snow-pack belays and steep ground movement skills.
Why confidence can save your life...
