Lean conditions but a good forecast

6th January 2019

Happy new year!

The warm festive weather stripped away a lot of snow and although it's been colder recently it's also been dry. We've had lots of winter skills teams out who had to eek out the snowy patches but have had fun doing so and learned lots along the way.

At present there's no ski touring to be had and only a few broken mountaineering/ climbing lines are being climbed in the Northern Corries at the moment. Fortunately it's turning cold and snowy this week and things look much, much better from the middle of the month.

Let's hope that's the start of things.

We have limited availability on our courses now, but please get in touch if you're interested and we'll do our best to squeeze you in.

Winter courses

The weekend was absolutely fantastic! I had such a great time. I learned so much! Laurie asked us all at the very start, what we hoped to achieve from the weekend and he absolutely made sure they were met. I've already been highly recommending the course to friends! Coming to these guys for this course was super easy too, they are very accommodating (thanks again for picking up my boots!). I will definitely book onto something else in the future!
