Professional behaviour

Most people would probably nd it easier to tell you what being unprofessional is, giving examples of

unprofessional people they have dealt with in the past. However, it is much easier and more positive toknow what to do than not to do.

Thus, some major aspects of professional behaviour are listed below:

Respect for Others

Showing others respect is the basis of all professional behaviour. It includes:

* Being courteous and having good manners* Being punctual* Keeping condential details condential

* Being fair in all dealings* Keeping personal opinions of people private* Doing what needs to be done, not leaving it for others to do* Acceptance of constructive criticism* Being fair and gentle when giving feedback* Dealing with sensitive issues privately* Make allowances for others mistakes* Listen to others* Apologise for any errors or misunderstandings* Speak clearly and in language others can easily understand

Responsibility and Integrity

This is where you must take care of yourself and present yourself in order to gain others trust andrespect.

All professionals need to take responsibility for themselves and their work. They need to consider con-sequences and the impact on others.

* Honesty is crucial own up to your mistakes and do not lie about them.* If you are delayed, let the other person know as soon as possible

* Always be respectful about competing businesses/people point out your benets rather than theirfaults* Be prepared before meeting guests* Ensure you have made yourself clear to avoid any miscommunication* Be impartial keep personal bias and intolerances out of the business world* Be reliable and dependable* Ensure you present yourself pleasantly with good hygiene and appropriate dress codes.* Demonstrate self-control and avoid public arguments and disagreements


6/112

Commitment to Quality

A professional always aims to give the best they can. Whether it is putting together a product that willlast and be safe to use or providing a service of value, you need to give the customer more than theyexpect.

Never give out work you are not proud to have your name on and always do your best work, and theresults will reect these attitudes.

Commitment beyond yourself

A professional can see beyond him or herself and is willing to share.

Essentially, being professional is about seeing beyond the immediate needs. By thinking about the longterm perceptions of you and your business, rather than a quick dollar or score, you are likely to behaveprofessionally.

100/112

Short Glacier Walks

Guide Equipment:

-Basic Glacier Gear (refer to gear list on page 103)

It is not necessary for the guide to wear a harness or helmet

Guest: (See equipment list on http://www.glacierguides.is/Practicalinformation/EquipmentlistGlacierHikes/)

-BD Crampons

-Walking axe (without a strap)

-Warm clothing (gloves/hats/waterproofs)-*(crampons are not comfortable on many low-shoes, but the duration and terrain of the tour should be

okay for low shoes

This trip is oursight-seeing tour. It is in NO way supposed to be dangerous or physically demanding. This

tour is for everyone as long as they can be fitted with crampons and can walk.. On this tour you will be

working with larger groups. For this reason it is important to carefully study the route up on the ice. The

trip is more about the talk than the walk! Stop frequently to explain what there is to see on the ice or in the

surroundings In some cases the route has to be prepared in the morning. This is either done by one guide that

has the morning off or by the second guide on big trips, while the lead guide does crampon instruction. After

the tour the client should have a basic understanding of glaciology as well as have heard some history about

the area and most importantly they should be smiling!

Longer Glacier Walks

Guide Equipment:

-Basic Glacier Gear (refer to gear list on page 103)

**Guide must wear harness & helmet on this trip

Guest:(See equipment list on http://www.glacierguides.is/Practicalinformation/EquipmentlistGlacierHikes/)

-BD Crampons

-Walking Axe-Harness

-Helmet

-Food & Drink

-Warm clothing (gloves/hats/waterproofs)

These longer tours are for those that want something slightly more challenging. The terrain is more difficult

and demanding than on the 2.5 hour tour. Clients need to have hiking boots with ankle support. This tour

is more about the walk than the talk. In general the same talk that is given for the 2.5 hour tour will be

sufficient. On this tour the clients walk wearing a helmet and a harness so that a short / fixed rope can be set

up quickly. For everything else refer to the 2.5 hour tour.


101/112

Ice Climbing

Guide Equipment-

-Basic Glacier Gear (refer to gear list on page...)

-Single or Static rope. (1 or 2 ropes depending on client #)

**The rope MUST be cleaned after each use to avoid build up of sand!!!

Guest: (See equipment list on http://www.glacierguides.is/Practicalinformation/EquipmentlistGlacierHikes/)

-BD Crampons-Harness with 2 caribiners

-Climbing Axes

-Stiff Boots

-Waterproof pants and gloves

-Helmet

The course topics and location will depend on the experience of the guests. If there is a mixture of skill levels

within the group, then it is a good idea to begin with basic skill instruction and maybe some bouldering.

Conditions are different from year to year and location to location. The ideal site to begin with is a safe bowl

where a top rope can be set up. If this is not possible then lowering the client into a crevasse is also an option.

Lowering should be done straight from the anchor with an Italian-hitch or a Gri-Gri. The anchor should be

a minimum of 2 ice-screws equalized to a locking carabiner for top ropeing there should be an opposite /

opposed carabiner. Note that ice-screws can only be left in for a limited time on glaciers (watch for melting and

make a drain so the screws are not situated in swimming pools). Top anchors focal point should have steel

carabiners if possible. Clients should at all times wear helmets and gloves. Play it safe and keep people away

from edges and drops!

High Peaks (e.g. Hvannadalshjnukur)

Guide Equipment:

-Basic Glacier Gear (refer to gear list on page 103)**only 1 climbing axe and 2 ice screws (depending on conditions)

-Map and navigation equipment

-Emergency Shelter

-Shovel

-Probe

-Snow Picket / Deadman

-Single Rope

-Extra Sunglasses/ski goggles

-Sunscreen

Guest Equipment: (See equipment list on http://www.glacierguides.is/Practicalinformation/EquipmentlistAlpineTreks/)

-Harness with 2 caribiners

-Summit Crampons: Should have Anti-Bots!!

-Ice Axe

-(Guest is responsible for providing all other gear on the equipment list they are provided with when

they register for the trip)

Special notesThe objective of the client is to reach the summit. The job of the guide is to ensure everyones safety and

to make decisions based on this. Give the clients a heads-up if the weather looks bad and a reasonable

estimation of summit success. Once the trip begins there are no refunds for turning around early. For a veryearly turn around (e.g. before snow) consider a complimentary 2.5 hour glacier walk as compensation. If the

guide cancels the trip a full refund will be given. For any mistake by the guide or the company appropriate

compensation will be determined by the company. Two days prior to departure there are no refunds, for other

refunds please refer to Booking conditions.

Children (13 and younger) and Special Needs Groups

For groups of elderly people or special needs it is important to stay in easy terrain. Consider allowinggroups of special needs to keep their own equipment (i.e.. Walking sticks for blind people) If you

think they might have difficulty with the walk then do not hesitate to ask them, be honest andstraightforward- you want to be sure that they feel comfortable with the trip. Keep a slow and easypace throughout the walk- remember that Pace-Setting is the greatest tool in the Guides arsenal.

When families book a trip with more than one child (or one difficult child) consider assigning a specialguide for them or running a special tour. Always put the children in a harness and be prepared to shortrope them. When doing this consider that the guide will not be able to have his full attention on otherclients. In this case short roping is not for technical difficulties but to keep them under control. Forchild discounts and family prices contact the office or refer to the brochure. For a minimum age pleaserefer to brochure.
