Winter Skills
The image above shows someone on the classic winter traverse of Liathach. This is commonly agreed to be one of the best ridge traverses on the Scottish Mainland. You too can learn the necessary winter skills with nineonesix to confidently attempt outings such as this. At nineonesix we use a variety of venues to take full advantage of Scottish winter conditions; as well as Torridon we may go to Kintail or The Cairngorms.
Spend a weekend with nineonesix - learn new skills on day one, then practice them the next. Your winter moutain leader will teach you how to use an ice axe and crampons safely, as well as route choice and other techniques required in winter.
'Hello Jim Spent the weekend with you through the SYHA at Torridon back in March for winter skills, which was to help me when I headed to Ladakh and a Himalayan peak in July. Thought I would just drop you a line to say that that weekend was a great help to me and my confidence in scaling to the grand height of 6,123 m. on Stok Kangri in the Himalayas. There was lots of snow and a white out at the top, but it was still the top. So many thanks and I may well find myself looking for more skills this winter. Cheers Victoria'
