Our winter skills courses are based out of Aviemore in the Cairgorms National Park. Throughout the course we aim to give you all the skills needed for safe travel in the winter mountains. Starting with planning a winter day using both weather and avalanche forecasts in tandem, the foundation of any sucessful winter day. Once on the mountain we will look at a wide range of skills, such as;
Ice axe and crampon use
Winter navigation
Snow interpretation
Emergency shelters
Equipment choice
Avalanche awareness
Our 5 day course allows us to consolidte all the skills covered in our 2 day course while delving into a little more detail on some aspects. It also allows us to journey more and potentially bag some munros.

Had an awesome day smashing the Cuillin Ridge in a day with Josh (although be warned, don’t go for it in a day unless you love punishment). Very friendly, chilled and absolutely knows his stuff!! 100% recommend!

My wife and I booked Josh to lead us up Ben Nevis in early March. Without a doubt the best decision we made when planning our trip! We had 100% confidence in his leadership and he made us feel very comfortable. Most important - he made us feel safe.
