Description
Join us for two packed days of instruction and winter mountain walking in Scotland in either the Cairngorms National Park or Glen Coe.
Over the duration of the course our instructors will help you learn the skills to support you as you develop from a summer mountain walker into a winter mountaineer, allowing you to move through the beautiful snow capped mountains of Scotland safely.
We will teach you to safely plan your winter mountaineering days, from learning how to ice axe arrest, to cutting steps. You’ll also learn how to safeguard each other on steep snow covered slopes and how to interpret weather and avalanche forecasts.
