Dave Mackenzie, Andrena Ball & Becky Howard, July 2012

We learnt a lot about ropework on glaciers and rock routes, crampons, ice axes, crevasse rescue etc. and had extensive practice with all of these, but also gained experience in planning and executing longer alpine tours. We also refreshed our knowledge of basic navigation and first aid in the mountains. Spending time in the mountains with a guide has really improved my confidence to now go and plan my own routes and alpine tours. I would certainly recommend it to anyone planning getting into alpine mountaineering.
