Learn the basic of how to abseil without being a leader
The Abseil Skills 101 is aimed at people who expect to be abseiling on a climb or trip, but who are not needing the knowledge of setting up the abseil (IE you are not the leader). This is particularly useful for people embarking on a guided expedition to greater ranges where (supervised) abseiling will be required in places but you want to be prepared rather than learn how to abseil in a snow storm high on a mountain. This course is often combined with the SNOW & ICE SKILLS course.
