I guess there's probably alot of people on the forum, who are probably in a similar position to me on this one. I'm looking to make the advance from trad to mountaineering, and have been thinking for a while of the best way to go about this.

I was considering taking one of the alpine guides TMCs (technical mountaineering courses) in NZ, but it's been suggested to me that because I'm already a reasonably experienced trad climber, that I should be looking at hiring a guide, and having them train me.

This way, We could be learning what we need to know, and more technical stuff, rather than spending time on things that we're probably already compitent with.

So i'm basically looking for any suggestions on doing this, and a few like minded people of similar experience. I'd be considering doing this some time next year.
