What does this training day entail?

To kick off the morning, we convene over coffee to collectively chart out the upcoming hike.

Our objective is to fully ENGAGE YOU in the decision-making process inherent in a mountain excursion: prior to departure, at the outset, and throughout the journey.

Before setting out, we’ll ponder:

– Where to venture and for what reasons?
– How much time to allocate?
– Is navigation straightforward?
– Does the terrain pose technical challenges?
– What essentials to bring and why?
– Identifying potential hazards.
– Strategies for interpreting weather forecasts accurately.
– And more…

Subsequently, we’ll embark on the planned hike together, evaluating beforehand decisions along the way. The ultimate aim is to substantiate our choices, fostering experiential learning and bolstering confidence.

During the hike, if desired by the participant(s), we’ll interchangeably utilize both maps and GPS for navigation.

This condensed one-day training covers fundamental aspects including:

– Proficiency in reading an IGN map.
– Competence in GPS operation.
– Route selection.
– Grasping mountain risks through the “probability X consequence” framework.
– Initiating emergency protocols.
– Navigating storm scenarios.
– Selecting equipment without compromising on size or safety.
– Essentials for the backpack.
– Key considerations for decision-making.

The overarching objective of this day is to equip participants with the foundational skills necessary for orchestrating their own mountain escapades, prioritizing comfort, enjoyment, and safety.

It’s about recognizing potential hazards while also fostering the self-assurance to acknowledge when all is well, enabling full immersion in nature’s embrace.
