Winter arrives just in time #winterskills #winterclimbing #skitouring

13th February 2020

On days like today it's easy to forget how lean and challenging winter has been, perhaps we only remember what we want to!

We've had lots of happy customers out on winter training courses this month. Everyone understands how difficult the conditons have been, but are very happy when their course exceeds thier expectations.  

Having an experienced and excellent team is key to this.

Today we had teams out climbing and walking, and we managed an afternoon ski in Lurchers Gully. It's always worth sticking with winter becuase when it gets good in Scotland, it gets very good.

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!
