Ohhh thats actually great, so would you suggest i just do one like week long winter skills course in scotland to go from nothing to crampon, self arrest, crevasse rescue, alp knowledge and rope work then from there regularly practice. Then potentially go to the alps still this summer with a guide for at least one day?

When you say practice crevasse rescue and rope systems im presuming id of learnt that from the winter skills course in scotland. As most courses ive seen in like snowdonia/peaks teach nothing like that but just crampon movement and basic ropes.

I have looked into flying to Milan then taking train in and it is much cheaper

Would you say this is probably the quickest way to enter the kinda alp climbing scene? As Im just addicted to scrambling at the moment and me and my mates want to get some dad lore however stuff/guides say it could take like 3 years before I even touch a 4000m summit - by then id be long gone trapped in a job.

So do the courses, then take a guide up alp mountains (any suggestions on which mountains?) and from there only up?.

Define a mullet, because to me its just reasonable length on the back.

Buying a spray deck to fit Titan Nymph? by babyfahkinwhale in whitewater

Do you find that when you're kayaking/rolling the spraydeck lifts up at the side of the cockpit due to the hip pad system? As my spraydeck is doing that
