Spring in the air, but winter is still clinging on! #winterskills #wintermountaineering #hillwalking

9th April 2019

Spring is definitely in the air but winter hasn't given up quite yet. 

Last week it turned cold again and it felt more like February at times. Although this brought some ski touring and winter walking/ mountaineering back into condition, it's all a bit too-little-too-late! 

We've had various teams out for winter mountaineering, rock climbing, hill walking and winter skills. Conditions this week have been almost Alpine, and if you're heading out make sure you wear suncream!!!

Overall this winter has been challenging, but we've still managed to deliver good quality training through being flexible, creative and having an excellent team. We've had over 300 people out this season, our busiest ever. Thanks as always to all those who've chosen to book with us.

Here's hoping for a long hot summer.

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!
