One day winter mountain skills course
We took the one day Mountain Winter Skills course last week on 16th January. Nic was our teacher and guide. It was excellent in every way. A little informal teaching at first, and then quickly out on the mountains. Conditions were ideal for learning proper usage of crampons and ice axes and everything that we needed was loaned for the day by the centre itself. Nic was full of information and enthusiasm and we couldn't fault anything about the day, having got right to the top of Cairn Gorm, despite the snow and ice. Additionally, we were due to do the course in December but had to cancel @ bad weather. The centre cheerfully deferred the day into the following month where many would probably have simply kept the fee and told us "bad luck!"
Overall, it was excellent and we're already considering a longer, multi day course.
Many thanks.
