Advanced Scrambling: UK Alpine Training (for an Alps / Dolomites Trip)
Course Details:
If you’re planning an alpine climbing trip to the Alps or the Dolomites and you’d like to brush up on your rock skills this course will help get you prepared. Advanced scrambling is all about safety, speed and efficiency. You need to know what technique to use and when. It’s a constant balance between moving quickly without risking unnecessary danger. Unroped scrambling, moving together, short pitching; these are all skills that you need to be able to fluidly switch between to avoid getting stuck on a mountain overnight! The course is bespoke and depends on your current skills and objectives but generally we will be looking at:
- Taking chest coils and moving together
- Using running belays to keep both climbers safe
- Pitching short sections of hard climbing
- Direct belays
- Multiple anchor belays
- Abseil descents
