Winter Mountain Leaders will frequently need to give basic tuition to novice walkers in nice axe and crampon skills techniques. This practical workshop will facilitate developing practiced demonstrations in core ice axe and crampon techniques to ensure the Leader is seen as an expert model.
We will cover selecting appropriate safe terrain to teach techniques and use of an appropriate teaching model or approach when teaching others.
Participants should have done their Winter ML Training or be existing Winter ML holders.
We will aim to explore how participants can ensure a simple structure and appropriate programme of training for the abilities and experience of the groups or individuals being trained. In addition, there will be a focus on group management, navigation in challenging conditions, top tips on managing a group in a challenging winter environment, and delivering a quality day for your clients.
