Yeah I suppose it is up to the more experienced people on the forum to reply to others when they ask questions or mention practices that they've heard of and help to steer us in the right direction.......

A lot of clubs are very responsible in this regard. They make it compulsory for members to receive some sort of training before they can participate in advanced trips. Also to lead a trip - most clubs require the trip leader to have a minimum standard of training.
