Lean conditions

21st January 2022

In an ideal world there would definitely be more snow and it would be colder! Although it's been warm and the wintery weather hasn't come to much over the last couple of weeks we have still been able to deliver good quality winter skills training. 

There are still some huge areas of snow that are enduring well. Linking these areas up to move around the mountains has worked really well so far and everyone has enjoyed their training with us. The January sunshine has definitely helped a lot! 

Fingers crossed winter makes a return in February and doesn't decide to hold off untl May!

Winter courses

We went on the 2 day Intro to Winter Mountaineering course and couldn't praise it highly enough! Dave was an incredible instructor - friendly, patient and super familiar with all the mountain terrain near Aviemore. We recapped our basic winter skills before progressing onto ropework, belaying and steeper routes. We became more independent the second day, leading the routes with Dave's guidance. Dave was more than happy to tailor the course to our level and needs, allowing us to push ourselves whilst always feeling safe. There are loads of outdoor guides and courses in the Cairngorms, but having now done two courses with Cairngorm Adventure Guides we would recommend them to everyone!
