Hi fellas, new climber from the UK here.

I have no experience in climbing with rope. I’ve been bouldering for a year in my climbing centre, and I summited my first mountain, Snowdon via the Crib Goch way, this summer.

I value the independent side of climbing and so I do not wish to pay for mountaineering/glacial climbing courses, but I do need a way to learn these skills independently.

What would your suggestions be other than research first? Are there any mountaineering routes that are easier to practice advanced techniques on? What should I definitely make sure I learn before attempting solo rope climbing?

For bonus points: Any suggestions on beginner ice climbing routes? I would love to do this someday when I build up my strength.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
