Cheers all - I did post a reply earlier, but someone seems to have eaten it...
I feel much like you do Ben, although I do agree with Bren about the safety aspect - if I hadn't been trained up by others who I trust, I would think hard about getting trained and paying for it. I'm also well aware that around a third of fatalities have involved rapid, uncontrollable ascents recently. Something cheerful to ponder...
But in my case, I've been "trained", and I've got the experience - and I would rather put my cash towards courses I have no knowledge about rather than something I've already done. I'm sure there is a solution out there somewhere... |
