In December 2019, Mount Cook took on 3 apprentices for the first time ever – Elijah, Jade and Kenny. It turned out to be a bit longer than they anticipated due to the world slowing to a stop during the pandemic. We asked them about their experiences at Mount Cook. Did you previously have any exper...

What skills will you be acquiring this year?
Learning some basic rope handling skills can enable mountain walkers to safeguard against steeper terrain; or terrain which has become hostile due to snow, ice or even water.
A little training might even be a stepping stone to tackling some of the classic UK ridge scrambles?

Happy new year folks; wishing you all expanded horizons and safe travels in 2022.

The recent re-opening of Snelslow Swallet in the Peak District offers up some very exciting vertical caving opportunities. A perfect venue for learning or refreshing personal SRT skills.

Simon and Rachael were out learning the ropes today under the watchful guidance of Chris Plant

The Eastern Edges of the Peak provide the perfect location for learning traditional (‘trad’) rock climbing skills.
Progression from indoor wall climbing to outdoor rock climbing is best done under trained supervision. Just a couple of days of targeted training can massively accelerate the route to safe independent rock climbing.

Rubber Dinghy Rapids!
The team have been busy on the River Derwent recently; providing exciting and memorable experiences for groups of friends and families.

A typical half day journey begins at Darley Bridge and finishes in Matlock Bath.
Initially the river meanders gently through open countryside - allowing clients to learn some boat handling skills before reaching a few sections of testing rapids further downstream 😁

The journey passes directly underneath ‘High Tor’ possibly the most impressive cliff face in the Peak District.

Why not book a trip for your family or a group of mates?
There’s far more to Matlock Bath than fish and chips!

Skills and Drills.
So called ‘Guide Plates’ have become a popular choice of belay device over recent years, due to an auto locking capability when set up in ‘guide mode’

It is absolutely crucial that any rope system is completely reversible.
Even regular users of these devices might not have ever practiced releasing the system under active load? Much easier said than done!

Today we were out on Stanage running through some of the skills to be tested on Chris Plant ‘s forthcoming ‘Development Instructor’ assessment.
A couple of classic lines bagged too!
