Winter Mountaineering Training 2023

For those already attending the 2023 Winter Meet and have confirmed their interest in the winter mountaineering training

This course will take place between Sunday 19th and Friday 24th February 2023, during the Winter Meet.
There will be 2 groups in this course. Group 1 will run on Sunday 19th and Monday 20th and Group 2 will run later in the week.

Do not sign up unless you have previously discussed with the meet coordinator.

This course will be run in a ratio of 1:4 for training and 1:2 for guiding by qualified instructors from Aviemore.

Day 1 will cover additional training and techniques in a group of 4. Day 2 will be a day with a guide in a group of 2 to put the skills and techniques into practice.

This Winter Mountaineering course looks at the skills needed for the middle ground between winter walking and winter climbing, essentially winter scrambling. Many of Scotland’s mountains have steep ground, sharp ridges and deep gullies that make amazing days out and offer a little more challenge than the walking routes.

We will look at the movement skills and technical skills needed to safely travel over this more challenging terrain, equipping you to go and have your own mountaineering adventure in the future.

A specific kit list will be issued by email closer to the time.
