Advanced Mountaineering Course
5 Days Advanced Summer Mountaineering course.
Why should I do this course?
If you have done some easy summer scrambles (grade 1) and want to learn
how to use a rope on harder scrambles/easier climbs then this is the course
for you.
What does this course cover?
Classic summer scrambling routes at grades 2,3,4 and easy climbs.
We hope to cover some classic mountain scrambles like Pinnacle ridge, Slab
and Notch on Pillar, Harrisons stickle in Langdale, Easy terrace and Giants
crawl on Dow. Easy climbs like Middlefell buttress in Langdale and C Ordinary
route on Dow.
We will teach you when and how to use a rope to protect yourself and a second
while scrambling. This includes taking coils, choosing and using direct
belays, indirect belaying and body belays, placing runners, moving together
and down climbing.
We also cover how to choose a route and interpret the guide book

experience of easy summer scrambling or indoor rock climbing is helpful
but not essential.

similar and rucksack. If you have your own harness and helmet please bring
