Scottish winter skills












 I’ve been running our first Scottish Winter Skills Weekend of the season today. It was a stunning drive up yesterday and incredible to see snow from summit to valley floor for most of my drive. 

The team and I headed up Buachaille Etive Beag today and made the most of the frozen streams to use crampons from car to car. It’s been perfect for teaching with light winds, variable snow conditions, water ice for crampon coaching and of course some lovely views. It’s great to be back in Scotland.

Teaching winter mountaineering

Teaching winter mountaineering today with Fabio and Mark. It’s been a bit more blustery than of late so we stayed lower and got them on the sharp end in ascent and descent. Bit of a turbo thaw coming in tomorrow but a great start to winter. Fancy joining us for more of this? Check out Expeditionguide.com for our full winter programme.
