Just a quick note to say we will not be updating the Scottish winter climbing reports for three weeks as we are rock climbing in Spain. If anyone wants to book a Winter Skills or Winter Mountaineering course we can be contacted on our UK mobile by text and voice. We will be back to the snow and ice in Scotland on the 28th November....!
We currently have four people on the Christmas advanced Winter mountaineering course and two on the intro Winter Mountaineering course (Christmas 2009 Winter Walking Skills) The New Year courses are almost full though we still have a few places left. We still a plenty of space on the February and March 2010 dates.

Snow on the tops and wet socks
The Cairngorms have been looking quite wintry over the past few days however the snow has fallen on very wet, warm and saturated ground. We need a long period of cold frosty weather before any substantial snow fall to freeze the ground and bring things into decent winter climbing condition. A few folk have been out scrambling and climbing both in the east and west and reported soft wet snow on the ledges and sodden ground on the approaches Photos from today at www.marmotte.co.uk/blog/diary.html
