Snowcraft 2

For those considering to register interest for the Snowcraft 2, it is a pre-requisite that you have been undertaking sufficient climbing to a point where your alpine climbing progression is now requiring the use of ropes, protection, anchors to ascend the routes you are wishing to climb. It is up to the discretion of the course leaders and trainers to accept the application. Please do not be offended if it is declined, this is for climbers to take a significant step with their skills and it is pertinent that the attendees are confident with their abilities.

Please contact the Club Captain with your request to join the course detailing your climbing progress and accomplishments to date and aspirations.

Date:

• SC2
  • Fri 1 August 7pm – Sun 3 Aug
  • Pre-field (rock gym) session Mon 28th July
