guided winter climbing

guided winter climbing 2 days

A guided winter climbing course in Aviemore & the Cairngorms, Scotland is an excellent opportunity to experience the stunning beauty and challenging terrain of one of the best climbing destinations in the country.

A 2 day guided winter climbing course in the Cairngorms, Scotland is a perfect introduction to the beauty and challenges of winter climbing. The itinerary typically starts with a safety briefing and equipment check, followed by a session on essential climbing techniques such as using ice axes and crampons. Over the course of the trip, participants will get to climb a range of routes suitable for their level, under the guidance of an experienced instructor. The instructor will also teach navigation skills, including reading maps and using a compass. The days will be tailored to suit the group’s experience and skill level, with the aim of building confidence and competence in winter climbing.

Routes we might aim to climb could be the Runnel, Hell’s Lum, Fiacaill Coulouir, Hidden Chimney and many many more classics – we will select the routes based off your aims, experience and the weather on the day.

We pride ourselves on providing as much kit as possible for you.  However, the list below is what we recommend you should bring to your guided Winter Climbing Course:

  • Travel insurance. (We are insured for all our trips, but we recommend everyone has their own travel insurance as well.)
  • Transportation to the venue. (We may be able to help with this though – if you need transportation please drop us an enquiry and we can see what we can do to help.)
  • Lunch, water.
  • Personal medication
  • Sun cream, sunglasses
  • Clear goggles – we may be able to provide if required please contact us.
  • Waterproofs 
  • Warm layers
  • Thick gloves and a hat/buff
  • B2 boots (we may be able to arrange hire of these if needed; please contact us if this is the case. But people normally prefer to use their own)
  • Rucksack 30 litres or so will suffice
  • Own personal kit IF YOU WISH TO Harness, helmet, Crampons, Axes etc (we do supply these but sometimes people prefer to use their own)

Here at Highland Outdoor Adventures, we pride ourselves on providing as much as we can but you are welcome to bring your own equipment if you do prefer. The list below is what we provide you with on the guided winter climbing course.

  • All instruction.
  • Crampons
  • Ice Axes
  • Leashes
  • Ropes
  • Helmets
  • All Technical Climbing Gear
  • All first aid and safety equipment.
  • Photographs of the day provided for you at no extra cost! If the weather is good we will have a DSLR professional camera and maybe even a drone, so we can take photos and videos of your adventure and you can look back at the day for years to come. If the weather is less favourable we will bring a GoPro (as it is waterproof) so we will still be able to take photos for you.
