Who is the course suitable for?
Anyone who would like to invest in a day or two of instruction on rope skills to stay safe whilst climbing or mountaineering. The first day is a basic rope skills day whilst the second day looks at how to solve problems when things go wrong, for instance in the horrible situation when a partner has an accident in a multi pitch setting. Both days are ideal for anyone wanting to pursue the SPA or MIA awards as well as for personal climbing & mountaineering. (This is not a learn to lead course, it is based at a single pitch crag venue and is focused on rope skills rather than climbing).
