This will go a long way towards giving your group more skills and confidence in the future and help to avoid possible pitfalls. The topics covered will depend largely on the conditions at the time, but priority will be given to navigation under winter conditions and using axe and crampons properly to safeguard travel on snow and ice covered mountains. Avalanche predictions and survival techniques will also be covered. The business of passing on skills is often difficult due to this fluid state of the membership. The courses on offer are aimed at helping to input the skills required for new members and giving the more experienced people a chance to brush up in the company of an expert.
Any dates are available.
The pricing structure will change if smaller groups attend. Accommodation is extra to instruction and details of this can be found elsewhere on this site. Prices per night start from as little as 6.00 per person, depending on the number in the group and length of stay. You may for instance want to use the accommodation for a whole week after a training course. In this way groups will have the benefit of staying next door to Alan Kimber, who will be available for help and advice throughout the period of their stay.
