Intro Mountaineering

5 Days Introductory Summer Mountaineering.

Why should I do this course?
If you want to get out into the fells and enjoy 5 great days on the Lakeland hills doing some easy scrambling while navigating to and from the routes, then this course is for you.

What does this course cover?
Classic summer scrambling routes at grades 1 and 2.
We hope to cover some classic mountain scrambles like Striding and Swirral edge, Sharp edge, Easy Terrace on Dow, Cam crag ridge in Langstrath, Jakes rake and Harrisons stickle in Langdale.
We will guide you up these routes using a rope where appropriate.

Mountain navigation to and from the routes.
We hope to teach you how to navigate efficiently around the mountains using map and compass. Our emphasis is on contour interpretation and understanding the ground in making good route choices.
