This is a one day workshop to check whether or not you are ready for your Mountain Leader assessment. It is also open to those who did it sometime ago and wish to check where they are up to now.

It’s a great chance to get some non-judgemental, unprejudiced, input and coaching from an expert; the author of The Mountain Leader – a practical manual. You’ll be getting input from someone who hasn’t trained you and won’t be assessing you.

You’ll get some steep ground to lead on in ascent and descent in assessment conditions. You’ll get to check your ropework in assessment conditions and you’ll get to explore how to show leadership in these situations. We will take opportunities provided by the landscape for environmental knowledge to be shared and for some navigational legs as well. This is not a CPD workshop. It is recommended that you do this workshop at least 6 to 8 weeks before your assessment to give you time to work on your action plan. The workshop will take place away from the usual training and assessment hotspots.

This workshop is limited to four places to mimic the actual assessment.
