Given the nature of this course, venues and day-to-day activities are weather and snow-dependent and decisions regarding the exact day's programme will be decided by the course director each morning. The whole group will meet for a morning briefing on both days, allowing you to share the decision-making process with experienced instructors.


Experience Required

To get the most from this course, you will need some experience of mountaineering and/or climbing in the UK in summer and winter, where basic ropework and snowcraft (you should already be able to walk in crampons and use an ice axe) has been learnt.
