Ive been a hiker and trail runner for a while now and want to start getting into some bigger alpine climbs. Any advice on the best mountaineering courses in the UK and what gear to buy on a bit of a budget. I would rather buy once and not have to replace or upgrade later down the line for most things. Also what are the best 4,000m peaks for beginners (views and fun are just as important as difficulty).
