mountain training
The wide range of adventure sports and activities (hill walking/hiking, rock
climbing, scrambling, mountaineering, etc.) are by their very nature irregular
and unregulated. Unlike competitive team sports for example, there are generally
no rules to most climbing and walking activities, but there is a strong duty of
care held by leaders with potentially dire consequences to getting things wrong.
It is therefore essential that anyone using a volunteer or professional leader,
instructor or coach knows that this person is competent and qualified to do the
job.
