A stunning start to the winter season

A stunning start to the winter season and a chance to check out the snow cover on our local hills for winter skills, climbing and skiing - cover is surprisingly good :-)

We have also recently updated our website with our Scottish winter skills and winter mountaineering course dates for 2019 and these can be booked direct from the website.

We're running a few winter skills weekends in early December as well as Christmas and New Year winter skills and winter mountaineering courses.

If the dates or standard winter courses don't suit or for winter climbing we can easily organise private guiding and instruction at a date to suit.

A sparkling winters day with tomorrow even better

After the poor visibility and stormy snowy weather during the weekend Monday turned out a sparkling day in Speyside. Al and Kenny made a trip from the west and climbed Opening Break reporting lots of powder snow but with a mix good frozen turf or smooth granite slabs for purchase. Back over in the west on Ben Nevis Rob J mentioned that a hard new line was added in stunning blue sky conditions. Tuesday promises to be even better in the east and should be a real cracker for getting out winter walking and climbing. Remember to take the camera and if you get any good shots we'll post them on our blog. We're out Winter Climbing tomorrow too...!
It looks like we may have to run another Christmas Winter Mountaineering course due to the demand so we will keep you posted if any more places become available. We also have had several enquiries for the Winter Skills weekend course now running on the 22nd to 23rd of December 2007.
