Austrian Alpine Club UK Training
Mountaineering and Climbing Training for the AAC UK
These courses are run specifically for members of the Austrian Alpine Club UK. Like all courses run by Mountain Odyssey, they are provided by Jono Redmond. I hold both the Mountaineering and Climbing Instructor Award, the International Mountain Leader Award, and have been instructing and guiding rock climbing, walks, and international treks for the past 13 years. I’m looking forward to working with members of the AAC and sharing my knowledge and experience to make each of them a safe, confident, and knowledgeable rock climber and Mountaineer.
AAC Training - Scrambling
AAC Scrambling Course - Co. Kerry
This two day scrambling course is based in the MacGillycuddy's Reeks, in Co. Kerry. Over two days, you’ll progress from grade 1 scrambling terrain, right up to experiencing grade 3. This course is run at a ratio of two students to one instructor, so the content is completely tailored to their level of experience and needs. Ideal for someone who might have scrambling experience already, and would like to build skills and gain confidence on steeper roped scrambles. A fantastic weekend of experiencing more technical scrambling terrain. It’s also a perfect training ground for those who are preparing for a mountaineering trip to the Cuillin Ridge on the Isle of Skye, or further afield to the alps.

A review from our last AAC Course
Sept 2022 – Two day learn to lead climb course
“Had a great couple of days with Jono on an introduction to lead climbing. He was an excellent instructor, with a very pleasant manner.
Nothing was too much trouble for him and he was very helpful with all aspects of the climbing we did.
Can’t recommend him highly enough.”
