Our Introduction to Winter Climbing course is geared towards climbers and mountaineers who are just getting into the wonderful world of winter climbing. We aim to help you develop confidence and good judgment, as well as the practical skills required to tackle graded winter climbs. We offer tailored instruction specific to your goals and aspirations. 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.
This course is designed to help you adapt your existing skills. If you would prefer a more guided experience with a particular objective in mind then this can also be arranged. We aim to look at the following in detail:
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.
