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 2023

Check out our great range of winter skills, ski touring and winter climbing courses.

Winter courses

I completed the 2-day winter skills course with John followed by a 2-day winter climbing course with Dave. Can't recommend these two courses enough. Both John and Dave delivered two brilliant courses especially given the lack of snow! The winter skills course was informative and provided great foundational information on hiking safely in winter conditions. This led perfectly into the winter climbing course where Dave was extremely flexible given the conditions and my minimal climbing experience. We covered loads over the two days including leading, abseiling and belaying, to name a few. A great few days in Aviemore. Thank you Dave and John!
