These courses are specifically designed to give a sound introduction to the techniques needed for moving on snow and ice – both in Britain in winter and in the Alps. The courses will include use of crampons and ice axes, belaying and rope work, avalanche assessment and all of the other topics related to winter mountains. The 2-day courses will take place during January 2007 and cost £45. Please see the information sheet below for course dates and full details: Details There are still places left on the Know your Stuff! – BMC Technical and Training Conference This seminar is aimed at both new and experienced climbers, and will be held at Plas y Brenin in North Wales. Delivered by technical experts and professional trainers, it will outline how equipment manufacture and design impacts upon the way in which climbers use their gear. There is often much misinformation and hearsay surrounding equipment use (and abuse!) and this conference will be invaluable to both new and experienced climbers and trainers by dispelling many common myths. There will be an equal balance of both theoretical and practical sessions, with optional dinner and evening lecture by Steve McClure.Details ———————————————————————– If you have an event you would like including in the planetFear listing please either submit it via the site or contact matt@planetfear.com———————————————————————–
