This is a practical workshop which aims to consider the preparation for a day’s winter climbing from the planning process at home to the practical skills of safely reaching the foot of the climb and setting up your first belay. It is not a climbing course which would require a 1:2 ratio but is about safe travel and decision making when winter climbing which will help keep you safe and more efficient, avoiding the pitfalls of short days and working around other climbing parties. There is rope work from approaching routesto winter belays, avalanche and navigation top tips on finding the top or bottom of the climb and getting off the top at the end. Choosing a route and decision making on a busy day in the corries etc.

Prerequisites:

Participants must be competent with ice axe and crampons and summer rock climbing and rope work skills.
