For the first time this technical training film makes it possible for you to travel into the mountains with Charlie Hobbs an internationally qualified mountain guide "before" leaving home. Contains vital step by step information on the basics of mountaineering along with some fantastic mountain scenery and music.

Filmed by Director/Cinematographer Gary Ravenscroft and Directed by Mary and Charlie Hobbs.

An EXTREMELY VALUABLE VIDEO we recommend is “STAYING ALIVE” produced by Charley Hobbs and co-directed by Mary Hobbs out of New Zealand. He is a certified mountain guide that runs his own guide service, “Southern Alps Guiding”.

This is the only training video we have found through the years that covers everything a mountaineer needs, such as the self arrest, walking in crampons, glacier travel, setting up a tent on a snow slope, ice climbing, snow anchors like ice screws, dead man, picket placement, V thread, snow bollard and rope handing skills such as tying knots, belay techniques, crevasse rescue, and much much more…..

We have referred back to this video many times before a climb throughout the years and still review it today to touch up on our skills. This is a great inspirational video that will definitely get you in the mood to go out and tackle that mountain peak! We like this video so much that we contacted Charlie Hobbs and received his permission to sell it on our website for your benefit.

Buy this video, you won’t be sorry!
