Introduction to Winter Mountaineering and climbing. 4 day course based in the Cairngorms, Scotland.
Book nowOur Introduction to Scottish Winter Mountaineering and climbing course progresses from winter walking to climbing. It is aimed at people who have winter hill walking experience in Scotland and who have aspirations of moving onto steeper climbs.
The course aims to teach you the skills required for moving safely on steeper terrain during winter such as snow gullies, mixed climbs and rocky ridges, using 2 axes, ropes and mountaineering and climbing techniques.
We run these courses over 4 days and 2 days. We can add on a 5th day if you prefer.
(Please note: weather and snow conditions can affect the order in which skills are covered and the itinerary can change.)
