Summary
Scottish winter climbing is an adventure and no two days are the same, with constant changes in the snow and weather conditions, the choices that need to be made to stay safe and pick the correct route can seem confusing.
​
We can tailor the days to what you want to achieve. Whether it's to learn the skills to become a self sufficient climber, Alpine and mountaineering rope techniques or be guided up your 1st winter climb or mountaineering route. Or take on one of the classic routes.
​
Ben Nevis and Glencoe offer a wide range of the best Scottish winter climbs in the country, it would take too long to list them here but some of them are: Tower Ridge, Ledge Route, Orion Direct, Point 5, No.2 gully, Aonach Eagach, Curved Ridge, SC gully.
​
By having an experienced and local instructor who is constantly out in the hills can be the difference between having a safe and enjoyable climb or potentially not going out at all.
