Adventure Expeditions Winter Mountaineering / Ice Climbing |
Winter Courses 2007 After spending the summer months “touching rock”, now’s the time to think about the winter and “touching snow and ice”. The high mountains of Scotland are at their best when covered in snow. They offer a perfect playground for mountaineers and great training for the Alps and higher regions. Scottish winter mountaineering can be very serious; weather patterns can be unstable causing blizzards to blow up at short notice. The routes can be long of almost alpine proportion creating navigational nightmares. Don’t get caught out! |
Winter Mountaineering This course is for those with little or no winter experience. Our aim is to provide the essential skills and techniques to enable you to travel safely and with confidence across snow and ice, evaluating the risks and making decisions based on knowledge rather than “luck”. |
Courses last for five days and cover a wide range of hands on mountaineering skills. |
Snow and ice climbing Snow and ice climbing is the ultimate "winter thrill". For those who have a basic knowledge of winter skills, Adventure Expeditions can introduce you to the steeper and more technical routes (grade II, III). Teaching you to be safe and confident and ultimately enabling you to lead your own routes. Beginners to intermediate courses are from 3-5 days. Courses are based at Fort William, or Aviemore depending on snow conditions (or your personal preference). |
