Award Description
This qualification trains and assesses candidates in the skills required to lead walking groups in winter conditions in the mountains. The use of crampons and axes is covered in the scheme. It builds on the skills acquired in the Mountain Leader qualification, which candidates must hold to access the Winter Mountain Leader scheme.
Winter mountain leader training course ran by Richard, based in Fort William. Good quality self catering accomodation will be arranged for those that wish at around £22 per night.
Richard only runs a few of these each year and ensures the quality by working them himself. We have amazing terrain here in the west which enables us to look at all areas of the syllabus on realistic terrain.
Please drop me a line or give me a ring if you have any questions, Richard.
