Winter Essentials is a totally new product showing the key techniques and skills needed to operate in Britain's winter mountains. The film follows a group three winter mountaineers and two climbers on a day out in Glen Coe. See how they cope with the potentially hazardous environment and what measures they take to ensure they enjoy the experience and return safely. It's ideal for hillwalkers and rock climbers planning to take their first steps in winter and is also a great refresher for existing winter activists.

Also included are 11 separate chapters packed with information about Navigation, Avalanche Awareness, Crampons, Ice Axes, Self-arrest, Belays, Emergency Procedures and Clothing & Equipment.

The DVD has been jointly produced by the MCofS, BMC and MLTE with generous support from the Jonathan Conville Memorial Trust.
