Thread: Recommendations for mountaineering/alpine course for hunters?

Looking to do a mountaineering course to learn the basics of navigating alpine terrain. Looking for fundamentals such as use of ice axe, crampons and some general knowledge path selection/weather awareness in alpine environment. This would be a course for a hunter with no previous mountaineering experience.

I have had a dig online and found courses by Canterbury Mountaineering Club (all booked out for the year :0), Outdoor Education NZ and alpineguides.com.

Anyone had experience with these or recommend any others? Just looking to have the neccessary skills/confidence for winter hunting, particularly for tahr.

TIA
