If you want to get into Multi pitch climbing or roped scrambling I am offering to take two novices at a time on these dates;
2nd-3rd April
I am based in North Wales so would be looking to be going out in places like Ogwen and Snowdon area. Below is some clarification on what is involved with my training and insurance.
MIA Trainee - As an MIA trainee I do not , as yet, hold the Mountaineering instructor award which is the recognised training qualification for the instruction of scrambling and multi-pitch rock climbing in the UK. I've undergone the training course, but training for an award does not constitute a qualification.
Insurance - I do not hold insurance that allows me to receive payment or benefits in kind for instruction, but as a volunteer with membership of a mountaineering council of the UK or Eire I am insured for third party liability. These topics will need to be discussed in detail and agreed before an activity is conducted.
I know this is a long shot, but if you are still looking for people to take out in July ill be back in the UK then and very keen to get into multi pitch. Im mostly experienced in single pitch sport climbing but done a tiny bit of trad and am very keen to get into the latter, as well as multi pitch and actually mountaineering as a whole.
