Scottish Winter climbing

slider-mask.png

Scotland is the birthplace of winter climbing and alpinism as we know it. The Freeze thaw cycle, the altitude, the latitude give it a unique style of frozen faces and icy gullies, great ridges and complex corries make it a playground of learning in winter. Flexibility and knowledge are essential parts to planning a great winter adventure.

Client Testimonial

We wanted to do Isle of Rum expedition, instead we got a much better adventure. Namely, weather conditions on Isle of Rum during our planed tay were extremely bad and basically dangerous. The amazing guide, Connor, was quick on his feet and instead of us being miserably stuck in tents or cancelling our tour, he proposed to take the adventure to Cairngorms, where weather forecast was drastically better. After the whole group enthusiastically agreed, he created a matching itinerary of our hiking program on Rum and we had a truly lovely time! He even taught us the basics of scrambling and showed us "the roads less traveled" in the area, so our trip felt truly special ! All in all, it was a wonderful adventure ! Thanks Connor !
