Two day winter skills experience
This is a bespoke trip looking to give you the ability to get out and enjoy yourself safely in a winter mountain environment. This experience will likely include a journey such as a trip up Ben Nevis on the second day, putting the basic skills you learnt on the first day to use and refining them.
We will also look at things like snow belays and avalanche awareness in more detail.
A general course outline is as follows:
Day one: How to pack your bag and a general approach to walking in winter. How to use your boots, crampons and axes on different snow and ice types. How to arrest slips and falls both with an ice axe and without one .
Day two: avalanche awareness and route choice, Winter navigation and emergency snow shelters and snow hazards, all combined in a journey.
We can run a course on any days you wish or you can join a group on any of the open dates that we have running this winter.
