Introduction to Winter Climbing

A 1-day winter climbing introduction course in Aviemore & the Cairngorms, Scotland is a perfect way to experience the challenges and beauty of winter climbing in a safe and controlled environment.

A 1-day introduction to winter climbing course in the Cairngorms, Scotland is a perfect taster for those new to the sport. The itinerary usually begins with a safety briefing and equipment check, followed by an introduction to essential climbing techniques such as using ice axes and crampons. Participants will then get to climb a gentle slope or easy grade climb, under the guidance of an experienced instructor.

Alongside climbing, the instructor will also teach basic navigation skills such as reading maps and using a compass. The day will be tailored to suit the group’s experience and skill level, with the aim of building confidence and competence in winter climbing. Participants will get a taste of the unique beauty and challenges of winter climbing in the Cairngorms.

We pride ourselves on providing as much kit as possible for you.  However, the list below is what we recommend you should bring to your guided Winter Climbing Course:

  • Travel insurance. (We are insured for all our trips, but we recommend everyone has their own travel insurance as well.)

  • Rucksack 30 litres or so will suffice
  • Own personal kit IF YOU WISH TO Harness, helmet, Crampons, Axes etc (we do supply these but sometimes people prefer to use their own)

If the weather is less favourable we will bring a GoPro (as it is waterproof) so we will still be able to take photos for you.
