Great start to January

9th January 2022

During the Christmas and New Year mini heat wave, we had feared for the worst, but conditions quickly turned cold in early January and we have been able to deliver all of our courses so far. Since the start of the year we've had a good mix of winter skills, winter mountaineering, winter climbing and ski touring going on, with over 50 clients out. Even when the weather isn't playing ball there are always venue options that allow good quality training to still take place. Next week looks a touch warmer but then things cool down again at the weekend - let's hope that's it for the season! Liam

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!
