    Ronan Mullen at http://www.adventure.ie/htm/mountainskills.htm

    Aaron Byrne at http://www.mountainventures.ie/training.php

    Ronan is based in Roundwood, and Aaron in the Youth Hostel at Ballinclea near Donard, i.e the other side of the Wicklow Mountains to Roundwood.

    I've not done a course with either myself, but know people who have, and I know both people personally. Both of them are active in the Glen of Immal Mountain Rescue Team, so really know their stuff inside out.

    I emailed Bren Whelan for information and in fairness to him it took him about 5 minutes to reply with the information I needed.
