Our introduction to winter climbing course is designed for people with little or no winter climbing experience. However some experience winter walking and rock climbing is preferable. During the course, after an initial evaluation of clients' abilities and aims of the week, we will spend time improving your ability on ice and mixed routes.

As the ratio all week is 1:2 it is possible to accommodate winter climbers with more experience including those who wish to lead for the first time or climb harder mixed and ice climbs. Please contact us to discuss your needs.

Some of the best routes Scotland can offer can be climbed which may include Curved Ridge in Glencoe or Tower Ridge on Ben Nevis.

All Instructors hold the Mountain Instructor Certificate qualification and therefore have a huge amount of experience of the Scottish mountains.

A good level of fitness is necessary to fully enjoy 5 days winter climbing.

The ratio will not exceed 1:2 all week and therefore clients' expectations can be met by pairing clients with similar aims.
