AMI Trainer workshop

-
The Association of Mountaineering Instructors offer workshops for trainees who are progressing through their Mountain Instructors Award. The workshops run from April to October and cover topics such as short roping, teaching multi pitch climbing, personal climbing skills and improvised rescue techniques. To kick off the new season I and a number of AMI trainers got together for a meeting at Plas y Brenin today to discuss issues that have arisen from previous workshops and to discuss how the MIA scheme is delivered at the centre all the way through from registration to assessment. We were helped throughout the day by Carlo and Keith who did a great job in filling us in with how the MIA scheme is currently delivered and the problems that some trainee's encounter during training and assessment courses.

During today's assessments we were visited by a very special guest and a hero of mine. "Tell 'em about the honey mummy" it was no other than the Honey Monster! The HM was on site during a photo shoot and was trying out various activities. I also had the pleasure of assessing a distant relative of Sir George Everest today and I'm glad to say he passed his abseiling with flying colours, as did everyone else. 😊✔
