Happy New Year! (Winter Climbing Cairngorms & Avalanche Training)

3rd January 2018

Snowy in the Cairngorms

We hope you had a great festive period and are now psyched for getting out into the mountains. It's been cold and snowy in the mountains for last week or so now, with lots of snow falling on the west coast.

Over here in the east we've had various teams out for winter skills, avalanche training  and winter climbing. Today was the start of our five day winter skills course. They enjoyed a cracking day in the hills.

We've got lots on over the next few months. Please get in touch if you'd like to join one of our courses or to get out in the hills.

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!
