TBH you can learn a lot of what is covered in these courses in the UK for a fraction of the cost. If you ask around it will cost you nothing more than the fuel to get to scotland and a couple of beers 😉
Ah issue is I'm in that part of the world anyway
I love Scotland and the Lakes but it's all about the Alps for me this particular summer
Have you tried on outdoorsmagic?
I take it you climb already? if so, I wouldn't part with any money for a guide. I'd post a partner wanted ad on ukclimbing and just mention your experience.
hmm I live out here and would be interested in doing some ice climbing but not with that price tag - I could have a full setup for that cost 🙁
hope you have a fun holiday none the less and if your passing morzine and need a belayer just ask.
Thanks all - I'll post again nearer the time.
I'm keen on the course because of the instructional aspect. I'm doing a couple of others in the preceding weeks.
