Scrambling Skills
•
24 Jan
Find out how to use natural terrain features to protect the leader and second efficiently, and set up a belay using wires equalised with a sling. We also demonstrate effective use of a belay device to protect the second on more technical ground. Get the skills you need for scrambling with this series produced exclusively for BMC TV in association with AMI (the Association of Mountaineering Instructors) and DMM.
