Summer Mountain Leader Award Training

Today was the start of a summer mountain leader training course. Here in North Wales we are ideally situated to run these courses with most major mountain ranges in Snowdonia on our doorstep.

After an introduction to the course, the 4 candidates went off to Cwm Tryfan  to look at micro and macro navigation, leadership, route choice and mountain hazards.

The weather, whilst chilly was dry and clear. An ideal start to the week. 

This evening the students will be having a practical session where they will be introduced to ML rope work, ready for Wednesday when they will practice this aspect on the hill.

Laura one of our centre trainees went along to be put through her paces, as she has her assessment in 2 weeks time.
