Whether you are a Mountain Leader Aspirant or just a hill walker then this skills course can be of great benefit to you. If you enjoy a bit of scrambling on broken terrain with friends and family then having the skills to be able to protect them and yourself is an added bonus.
If you are a Mountain Leader then you will probably know this is one of the most failed modules alongside Navigation, so having a refresher course before you go to assessment could be a great benefit. Over the course of the day we'd hope to cover:
-
'Spotting' - Providing support whilst scrambling
-
Confidence Roping, Belay Methods & Knots
-
Anchor Selection
-
Route Finding
-
The Leaders Descent - Abseiling with just a rope
Security on Steep Ground & Scrambling Skills Course

It is very rare that we are unable to provide a leader for an event, but as I'm sure you can appreciate the winter months can provide some harsh weather conditions and we will only take a booking if we deem it safe to head out.
