Educational Links
Guide Lines - Tips from the United States Mountain Guides Association
Five short instructional pages on a variety of helpful techniques. You can also find trip planning pointers and equipment lists here. The USMGA represents guides in the US who have been certified in one or more disciplines through actual examination by their peers.
Tips and Techniques - From the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides
Another good collection of helpful information. This is oriented somewhat towards guides as opposed to the above collection, which is oriented towards the common climber. However, much of this collection is still of great use to casual climbers. It also gives some insight into the types of things guides are expected to know in countries where certification by examination is the norm.
"Tech Tips" - From the newsletters of guide Jim Frankenfield
Each of his periodically released newsletters generally has some sort of tehcnique or tip. Like the newsletters themselves these are oriented towards recreational climbers although they vary in complexity.
Tognar Tips and Tricks - From Tognar Tools
Everything you want or need to know about ski and snowboard maintenance and tuning.
