Two Day Winter Course

Beinn Alligin

Two day winter skills course based in Torridon, with a local, qualified winter mountain leader. On the first day you will revise, or be taught how to use an ice axe and crampons, perform self-arrest and look at the snow pack. Depending upon conditions and progress there might be the opportunity to climb to the summit of one of our many beautiful mountains and on the second day of this course one of the classic winter traverses, such as Beinn Alligin may be attempted.

Please note that all technical equipment for this course are included in the price. In the event of unsuitable conditions in Torridon it may be necessary to travel to another location such as The Cairngorms or Aonach Mor. Should this occur nominal travelling expenses would be incurred.

Single and three day courses also run in winter; snowholing expeditions are also possible given suitable conditions.
