A Big congratulations to Em for passing the final winter assessment of the International Mountain Leader qualification yesterday. This qualification allows you to lead groups anywhere in the world on non-glaciated terrain. The qualification is split into four parts: summer training in North Wales, summer assessment in the Swiss Alps and then winter training and assessment in the French Alps. The training and assessments cover summer walking (including hut to hut tours along high level mountain paths), snow shoeing, safeguarding groups with the use of a rope both on rock and snow, avalanche awareness and transceiver training. In addition, there is a strong focus on being able to identify and talk about mountain flora, fauna and geology. Well done Em!
