Developments in Single Pitch and Mountain Leader Awards Reviews are now complete for the Mountain Leader (ML) and Single Pitch Award (SPA) resulting in very few changes to the basic syllabus but a range of developments in the guidance notes.
This scheme
trains and assesses experienced mountaineers in the skills required
for the provision of instruction and guiding services in climbing,
skiing and mountaineering on rock, ice and snow in all conditions
and all seasons at BMG and IFMGA international standards. The
award is administered by the British Association of Mountain Guides
and is valid world-wide. Candidates should register with the BMG
and have gained substantial experience of United Kingdom and alpine
mountaineering. Registration requirements for this scheme are
broad and include 50 rock climbs at E1 5b, 50 winter climbs at
grade IV/V, alpine experience at TD and skiing experience that
includes off-piste and touring terrain.
