A wild weekend but smiles all round. #winterskills

15th January 2018

We had some pretty ferocious winds this weekend in the Cairngorms but much fun was had despite the weather! Here are some pictures from our Winter climbing and winter skills courses over the weekend.

It's looking like there's going to be quite a bit more snow falling over the next few days, so the conditions will be improving for skiing. We still have a limited number of places left on our Intro to ski touring course on 27th January, so please get in touch if you'd like to know more or to book.

Winter courses

We went on the 2 day Intro to Winter Mountaineering course and couldn't praise it highly enough! Dave was an incredible instructor - friendly, patient and super familiar with all the mountain terrain near Aviemore. We recapped our basic winter skills before progressing onto ropework, belaying and steeper routes. We became more independent the second day, leading the routes with Dave's guidance. Dave was more than happy to tailor the course to our level and needs, allowing us to push ourselves whilst always feeling safe. There are loads of outdoor guides and courses in the Cairngorms, but having now done two courses with Cairngorm Adventure Guides we would recommend them to everyone!
