The focus is on practical, safe techniques. You'll learn how to move quickly and securely over varied ground using short-pitching and moving together, as well as how to manage risk and make good decisions in alpine terrain. We’ll cover glacier travel and crevasse rescue, including how to rope up, arrest a fall, and carry out an effective rescue using pulley systems.

You’ll also develop the skills to manage complex descents, with instruction in multi-pitch abseiling and anchor selection. The aim is to build competence in key alpine techniques so you can move independently and with confidence on your own objectives.

This course is ideal preparation for anyone heading to the Alps or similar mountain environments, and is suitable for those with prior experience in hillwalking, climbing, or mountaineering
