FREE Opportunities during August 2016:
I am preparing for my MIA (Mountain Instructors Award) assessment, and I am looking for people (preferably pairs) to provide free tuition to, in final preparation for it.
I am particularly interested to hear from people wanting to make their first steps in leading in a multi-pitch traditional environment. This would suit climbers who have lead indoors and now want to gain an understanding of placing wires, reading routes and building bombproof belays.
As a teacher I am free throughout the whole of August, mid - week and weekends. If you would like to take up this opportunity please email me giving a brief outline of your previous experience and what you'd like to learn, as well as a contact number so we can have a chat and we'll go from there.
Car sharing from Wrexham in to North Wales is available.
PLEASE NOTE:
MIA Trainee
- As an MIA trainee I do not, as yet, hold the Mountain Instructor Award which is the recognised 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. The term aspirant should not be used as a level of competency for multi-pitch climbing has not been assessed.
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 part liability. These topics will need to be discussed in detail and agreed before an activity is conducted.
Many Thanks
Garreth
