Overview
At Acclimbatize we understand that technical handbooks (or well intentioned mates) cannot convey the breadth of experience required to mesh individual techniques fluidly, and integrate them into practical real time situations experienced on caving trips.
We have spent decades developing our approach to 'best fit' the needs of caving clubs, expedition caving parties, instructor training and skills development sessions for those with a desire to learn the ropes properly
Caver skills training can be targeted at the particular topics you wish to practice and can be arranged over 1 or 2 days .ItineraryWhether you are looking to improve your S.R.T ‘know-how’ or raise the standard within your peer group. Or, refresh the self help and companion rescue skills of your team prior to an overseas expedition? Or, you’ve already recognised personal ‘skill fade’ after a period of inactivity and want bringing back up to speed?
Whatever the skills you’re targeting, At Acclimbatize we believe knowing what not to teach - is just as important as the techniques we do teach. We use a ‘building block’ style methodology for teaching new technical skills. We build up from the skills you already know, and use the equipment you are presently familiar with. Once these foundations are solid, the efficiencies and the technical progressions will quickly follow.
Drawing down on the experiences gained over 30 years in the UK and overseas – training sessions are kept practical, engaging and based on real world scenarios. Technical caver training usually takes place in a dry comfortable environment which supports faster learning.
This approach alleviates the threat of any small technical mistake becoming anything serious in a more hostile cave environment.
Reminder: All vital outdoor skills should be practiced frequently to avoid any possibility of skill fade. Skill fade can be a contributing factor in complicating otherwise salvageable situations.
