WINTER MOUNTAINEERING COURSES
Scotland’s mountains have a world famous reputation. Names such as Ben Nevis, Liathach, Ben Alder, Lochnagar and Cairngorm can send shudders down spines and produce sweat on palms.
During this coming winter season, Di Gilbert Mountaineering will be providing courses in an Introduction to winter mountaineering.
Scottish winter mountaineering, probably the most rewarding of all the winter dimensions. The freedom to move fast, cover greatest distances and travel on some of Scotland’s most rewarding ridges and traverses.
These are courses aimed specifically at winter hill walkers who wish to progress onto more steeper and technical terrain.
These courses last 2 days and are normally run over a weekend.
Day one will be based in the Cairngorm National Park. We decide where the best weather and the best conditions are before making the final decision where to go on day 2.
Please contact Di Gilbert directly if you have any questions, if you are unsure if this course is suitable for you or any other enquiries.
