Advanced Winter Climbing Overview
Our Advanced Winter Climbing course is geared towards experienced climbers and mountaineers. Perhaps you’ve done lots of climbing in summer and want to have a go at winter climbing? Or maybe you’ve done lots of winter mountaineering and want to try something a bit more challenging? Please note that our advanced winter climbing courses are physically demanding and require a good level of fitness. Courses can be arranged in the Lake District and Scotland.
Drop us a line and we will be happy to arrange a day or a few days with you.
What’s covered in our Advanced Winter Climbing course?
We aim to consolidate your existing skills and help you on your way to becoming a more independent winter climber. We’ll look at everything from route choice and assessing conditions, ropework and protection, building belays and stances, climbing technique, hazard evaluation and winter navigation. If you would prefer a more guided experience with a particular objective in mind then this can also be arranged.
How many can participate?
This course works well on a 1:1 or 1:2 basis (instructor to participant) and can be booked for one to three days in duration.
How much will it cost?
Our standard rates are for private one-to-one guiding or instruction. Additional participants can join for £50 per person, per day, subject to suitable ratios for the activity.
For longer adventures, bookings of five or more consecutive guiding days receive a 10% reduction on our standard guiding fees.
How to book
