DMM have once again teamed up with the Association of Mountaineering Instructors (AMI) to bring you free workshops designed to sharpen your outdoor skills and help you make the most of your next climbing trip.
All workshops will be run at The Telegraph Outdoor Adventure & Travel Show (12th - 15th February 2015) by fully qualified Mountain Instructors and members of the AMI, the representative body for all professionally qualified Mountain Instructors in the UK and Ireland.
Trust Your Anchor – Gear Placement & Rope Work
Place the perfect nut or select the best cam. Learn the dark art of traditional climbing protection and how best to use it.
Who is it for? Novice climbers wishing to place nuts and cams with confidence and arrange a safe belay. The workshop will be ground based and practical. All gear supplied.
Now Get Out of That! – Escaping the System
Lock off your belay plate, escape the system etc. with lots of top tips and handy hints from the experts. If you have ever got to a stance and said “I hope that will work” then this is for you. Ground based advice about slick rope work and tangle free climbing and what do to if things don’t go according to plan.
Who is it for? Intermediate climbers who have climbed outside before. All gear supplied.
Perfect Pick Placement
Modern winter climbing has evolved from a niche activity into a fast-moving popular sport. This workshop looks at the latest techniques on mixed and ice in a controlled setting using the latest tools. The workshop will be under the expert guidance of a Mountaineering Instructor Certificate (MIC) holder i.e. someone who is qualified to climb ice for a living! All gear supplied.
Who is it for? Climbers with some previous experience of ice axes who would like to learn some of the insider knowledge to make snow and ice climbing slicker and safer.
