Technical Skills Coaching

Introductory Skills

 
If you have little or no experience, or wish to add to your skills in either hillwalking, rock climbing or caving I can design and deliver informative and practical workshops to help you on your way to enjoy these activities with confidence.
 
Hillwalking
 
  • General movement in the mountains over straightforward or challenging terrain
  • Personal Equipment
  • Safety Equipment and Issues
  • Navigation Skills - good weather, bad weather and at night with little visibility - map and compass (GPS is not skillful, and has the potential to let you down in your hour of need! )
  • Estimating Distance - pacing and timing
  • Group Management Issues
  • Overnighting in the Mountains - high level camping and equipment

 
Rock Climbing
