Winter Skills & Winter Mountaineering in the Cairngorms

22nd December 2017

It's been a great week with loads of teams out on winter skills and winter mountaineering courses. 

The week started of cold and wintry but slowed warmed throughout the week. Although lots of snow was lost, cool nights kept what snow remained firm and good for our teams to do their stuff on.

Rory and pals finished their fifth day of a private winter skills course today with a mountaineering journey over to Loch Avon. 

It's looking cold and unsettled over the festive period which will bring conditions back.

Here are a few snaps of the last few days.

Winter courses

An absolutely amazing mountaineering course, I couldn’t recommend highly enough. From the outset Dave took an interest in the skills we wanted to achieve and the capability of the group and tailored the course to us. We were provided with expert training and advice at every step. This was a challenging week of mountaineering that fit in as much learning and experience as we could fit into 5 days. I would highly recommend to anyone interested in Mountaineering or sharpening the skills they already have. Massive thank you to Cairngorm adventure guides.
