Learn to Lead Winter Climbing Course

A winter lead climbing course in Aviemore & the Cairngorms, Scotland is designed for experienced climbers looking to expand their skills and gain learn greater independence.

A 1-3 day winter learn to lead climbing course in the Cairngorms, Scotland would begin with a meeting point in Aviemore at Tiso at 08:30. The first day will focus on technical skills, with an emphasis on safety and route planning. Participants will learn how to use ice axes, crampons and other equipment, and will practice setting up and managing anchor points. The following days will involve more challenging climbs, with a focus on developing the skills necessary for winter lead climbing.

Throughout the course, participants will receive expert instruction and guidance from experienced guides, as well as ample opportunity to practice and refine their skills in a supportive environment. The length of the course can be tailored to the needs and abilities of the participants, with the option to extend to a longer course for those who want more practice and experience. The course will conclude on the final day with a debrief and reflection on progress made.

Routes led will vary between grade 1-2 and may include things like Central Gully, Fiacaill Coulouir, the Slant, Central Left Hand or Jacobs Ladder.
