Mountaineering

What is Mountaineering? Depending who you ask, or what google may come up with, if can mean various things. In Northern Ascents we apply the following to explain " mountaineering is an outddor activity that typically involves accessing the mountain peaks by walking/hiking and climbing/scrambling".

We would apply all the other aspects that Northern Ascents courses cover by planning routes and navigating to find a scramble/climb as part of the route in. Always remembering that the summit is only the half way point. On some occassions we can wild camp and make our way down the morning after the ascent. We may need to use ropes for confidence roping or even to abseil part of our way down. Basically we try and get a lot of the mountain skills needed for a fun challenging expedition
