Alpine Preparation 2 days.

Whether you are planning a guided trip with me or someone else, or on your first alpine season you could give yourself a head start by coming to North Wales for a weekend (or mid week) of alpine skills and a chance to ask questions and improve your fitness.

We can cover kit issues, moving together, glacier travel, crevasse rescue, hut etiquette, maps and guidebooks, scrambling,  abseiling safety,  planning and route choice.

Guiding ratios.
In a few cases the maximum number of clients to a guide is set by the local guides, such as on the Matterhorn
(1:1), or Mont Blanc 1:2. In all other cases it is up to the guide to make a decision based on the ability of the clients and prevailing conditions on the mountain. Generally the more technical or exposed the ascent is, the smaller the ratio must be.

Price:- These programmes and other private guiding are offered, starting at £295 per day + expenses.

Expenses will vary with the itinerary chosen.
