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

This company were great. Dave took us out on the hills for 5 days and gave us a bespoke course on winter walking / climbing. We learned a lot and had a lot of fun. He was an excellent teacher a really nice bloke and was incredibly patient with us all. Also, when we were planning the trip Liam was really great. We wanted help preparing ourselves for a specific goal and he was super helpful in explaining to us exactly what we needed to know/learn. It turns out we were being massively ambitious! But instead of just taking our money and sending us on our way Liam went out of his way to tailor a course to our needs. I can't recommend CAG enough.
