TISO MOUNTAIN SAFETY TRAINING COURSES 2008
Scotland’s mountains are as captivating as they are challenging - there to be enjoyed by everyone. But, like any remote and rugged environment, they are full of hazards too, and anyone venturing into the Scottish hills without the necessary skills and equipment can easily get caught out, at any time of year.
A little training can go a long way and can help you to go a long way safely too.
The Experts
For the 7th year running Tiso and the mountain safety experts at Stuart Johnston Mountaineering have designed an unbeatable programme of short courses to help you stay safe in the mountains, in winter or summer.
Under the guidance of renowned mountain trainer Stuart Johnston, a regular contributor to Trail magazine, and co-author of The Mountain Skills Training Handbook and The Hillwalker’s Guide to Mountaineering, the courses have been tried, tested and approved by hundreds of mountain-goers since its launch in 2000.
Whatever your experience, from hillwalking to ice climbing, if you can spare an evening and a day one of our courses will help to make you a safer mountaineer. Most importantly the experience will help you get into the hills safely yourself.
