Being a Mountain Leader is so much more than map reading and ropework. This book is aimed at Mountain Leaders and is designed to help them be a better leader once they have the qualification. There is advice herein for trainees and trainers, for the assessed and the assessor. This book moves away from the technical skills attained during training and assessment and focuses on actually being a Mountain Leader. What it does so well is demonstrate what is required to be a good and effective leader after gaining the qualification. Much of the content is also valid for the Hill and Moorland Leader and Lowland Leader holders.

Mike’s blurb says it all “Being a Mountain Leader is so much more than map reading and ropework.’ This book tells you what it’s REALLY like to be a Mountain Leader and is an essential read for every trainee and professional alike.
