Following the MLT Board meeting at Glenmore Lodge it was a great opportunity to stay on for a Quality Assurance inspection of an Mountaineering Instructor Certificate course - we call these moderation visits. This involved a full day on the hill with the group as well as various briefing sessions as well as anb evening session about the role of the MIC and an introductory avalanche lecture delivered to residents and guests - an audience of about 70 people in all.
We had perfect conditions for the first day, an easy walk in to hard snowpack: ideal for looking at the finer coaching points of snow craft: kicking and cutting steps, self-belay, fall arrest and snow anchors.
