Testimonials For ISM

What an incredible week learning the basics of Mountaineering. The course is perfectly balanced between summiting high alpine peaks and learning rope, climbing and glacier skills.Summits & Skills 4000 2026

The Classic Alpinism course last week was excellent! The itinerary was really well planned taking into account the less than perfect weather and the abilities and aspirations of the group - we all learned loads.Classic AlpinISM 2026

Thanks for organising an excellent week. The course format & accommodation was perfect. The guide was outstanding & gave us a full week of constructive tuition. I was able to put this training into practice the following week when I met up with a friend.Classic AlpinISM 2026
