Club Safety First
At HikeandClimb out ethos is a Safety First approach from start to finish.
This includes good practice skills development, technical competency, planning, written risk assessment, dynamic risk assessment, equipment good practice and environmental awareness.
As part of the Safety First ethos we also promote heuristic awareness and self awareness.
This approach is heavily influenced by personal experience and an in-depth knowledge of accidents/near misses.
