GENERAL INFORMATION
The courses below offer a progression from our normal instructional courses, and have come about due to the large demand for continuing skills training. They also give the opportunity to "get out there and do it", with more time being spent climbing or travelling in the hills, the basics having already been learnt. The only requirement for attending one of these courses is that you have completed the relevant introductory course, have remembered what we taught you, and have retained the phenominal sense of humour that you needed to get you through the course in the first place! Hope to see you again soon. Pete
SUMMER WALKING FOLLOW-ON - MUNROS ETC.
Summer hillwalking, with a Munro or three thrown in. This course provides an opportunity to practice skills learnt on the introductory week, and put them in to practice. We envisage visiting a number of summits during the week, and a variety of areas can be explored. These may include the Cairngorms, both north and south, Lochnager, Ben Nevis, the Grey Corries, etc, and your tally of Munros should have increased somewhat by the end of the week. It is not envisaged that steep ground requiring the use of the rope will be negotiated.
EXPERIENCE: Attendance on our summer or winter hillwalking course, good hill fitness.
RATIO: 1:6.
ROCK CLIMBING FOLLOW-ON.
Rock climbing! This week is very popular, and allows a good consolidation and improvement of skills. The main idea of the week is to go climbing on many of the cliffs and crags in the area, but also with the chance of travelling a little further afield if we choose. Coaching will be given on climbing skills, both single and multi-pitch, as will improved techniques such as stance management and gear placement.
EXPERIENCE: Attendance on one of our rock climbing courses, either introductory or intermediate.
RATIO: 1:2.
WINTER SKILLS FOLLOW-ON.
Consolidation of Winter Hillwalking Skills. This week will allow us to explore many areas of the Cairngorms, perhaps even travelling to the Ben for a day, whilst practising a variety of skills learnt during the introductory week. The only formal session will be a revision of axe and crampon skills for a short period of time on the first day, after that we can visit a variety of areas and "knock off" a few summits, Munros included. It is not envisaged that steep ground requiring the use of the rope will be negotiated.
EXPERIENCE: Completion of either our Winter Skills or Winter Mountaineering courses, and good hill fitness.
RATIO: 1:6. .
WINTER MOUNTAINEERING FOLLOW-ON.
This course is open to those that have completed our standard Winter Mountaineering course. The aim is to consolidate and build on the skills learnt so far, with an emphasis on getting some mileage under our belts! Participants will know how we operate, so can expect an enjoyable learning experience in whatever conditions the winter may throw at us!
EXPERIENCE: Completion of our winter mountaineering course.
RATIO: 1:4.
OUTCOME: Consolidation of skills, with a good deal of travel in the hills being completed.
