Problem
solving
Often advertised as 'rescues'
or 'hoisting and help' these courses can become
all too quickly an endurance in memorising knots,
systems and scenarios. Most of the time, prior
planning, organisation and lateral thinking
can prevent problems arrising. This course emphasises
the simple steps needed to
deal with problems and when
that one in a million situation does arise,
the suitable rope work required.

Classic
Rock Courses and Guide
Ken Wilson's book has a lot to answer for!
This
coffee table favourite of many is Edward Kinnear's
as well. Whilst he has never had a 'tick list',
a crafty eye has always been kept on these classics
and is now well on the way to being completed.
If these or any other routes catch your fancy
(irrespective of your climbing experience) we
can discuss your dream. You
never know - your first 'tick'
may complete his!
