3 Day Beginner- Advanced Courses
We run three day courses on the Remarkable Mountains, teaching basic to advanced mountain skills. The Remarkables are a great place to learn as there is a variety of terrain, generally good weather and has quick and easy access. Our experienced and qualified instructors will share their knowledge and skills of the mountains to deliver a course that is suited to the level of the individual. We run a maximum of 4 people to 1 instructor. This ratio ensures our courses are very personal, safe and enhances learning. We require a minimum of two people to run the course. All technical equipment and transport to and from the mountain are provided. It is expected that clients supply their own clothing and footwear.
