Within my work as a freelance mountain leader, I work a lot with women only groups. I put together focused skills sessions designed to up-skill them and develop their confidence and independence in a mountain environment.

Over the years I have delivered a number of weekends teaching the women valuable skills in navigation, route planning, weather reading, safe travel in the mountains, overnight camping skills as well as more challenge based weekends where the idea is to push their abilities both physically and mentally

I get a lot out of these weekends and it’s always such a joy to see the mountains open up to someone who previously thought they were out of reach
