Start of winter.

23rd November 2021

It's great to see fresh snow on the hills and a wintry forecast! We managed to get a day out today, going up the Fiachal Ridge and over Cairn Gorm. The light cloud lifted to give great views and blue skies, a real treat. It's always worth getting a few easy days out at the start of winter and to have a bit of a shake down. Good get the crampons on and feeling the crunch of the snow. Our courses are filling up very quickly this year but there are a few remaining places here and there. Please get in touch if you'd like to join us for some winter skills, winter mountaineering, winter climbing or ski touring training.

Winter courses

I had a great time at Aviemore for my 2 days introduction to winter skills course. The guides were extremely knowledgeable and always made time to answer everyone's question. Thorough checks on the correct kit and being prepared for a day in the mountains made me aware of a couple flaws in my own preparation. I have now corrected these and feel more confidant of the hills as a result. Very worth while doing so don't hesitate to sign up and learn how to be safe.
