Due to the variety of weather conditions encountered in Scotland this course is run with a conditions based approach, meaning that your instructor/guide will use the best of conditions to maximise safety, your learning and overall experience throughout your course. Below is a sample itinerary.

Day 1

We will cover planning our days in the mountains using the 'Be Adventure Aware' model, Guidebook interpretation, kit carried, route finding, applying a framework to allow us to assess and manage risk more appropriately. We also spend time on how to move efficiently on the rock with core movement skills and precise footwork.

Day 2

On day two we will look at applying day ones learning into a journey on another scramble, this will enable us to start to be able to retain and apply the learning in context of making some of our own decisions on the route. We can also cover some basic rope work if people would like this to be part of this course.
