So
there you are sitting cross-legged on the floor
or on your bed, in front of your rucksack, climbing
rack, bivvy gear etc. all laid out and you're
wondering.
Wondering
whether or not you should take this instead
of that.
Wondering whether that bloke
in this months climbing mag was right when he
suggested item A was better suited for climbing
on granite. That item B would cover all eventualities
and therefore you should purchase item D.
Or, whilst all this is going
on in those little grey cells, your mate phones
and suggests that you should drive to the other
side of the country because of some spurious
meteorological reason like cows are lying down,
that it was a red sky last night or that BBC
News 24 had reported something.
What
do you do? Well:
- If
you are already ‘tied-in’ to adventure
but have unanswered questions from friends,
magazines or books.
-
If you require access to first hand experience
of equipment purchasing, use, alteration and
destruction!
-
If you have a specific mountain skill or climbing
technique you feel you need to develop, but
are unsure how.
- Or
if you simply need to know about new and exciting
places to play.
Then Call or email
Edward with your questions or queries, for free
and with no obligation. Honestly, I and all
Mountaineering Instructors (even if they now
refuse to admit that they once knew very little
about the sport) have been there and that no
question of yours is too trivial or complicated.
Once
again - advice is free and with no obligation.
Whilst
every attempt is made to ensure the advice given
is correct, it must be recognised: “…
that climbing and mountaineering are activities
with a danger of personal injury or death. Participants
in these activities should be aware of and accept
these risks and be responsible for their own actions
and involvement."
