Planning a mountaineering adventure to the Alps or some other exotic mountain destination? Then head out to the United Kingdom first for some Alpine training across multiple locations!

From Scotland’s Cairngorms to the lovely English Lake District and stunning Snowdonia in Wales, we can head out to any of these spectacular locations to build up your skill set and make some excellent ascents.

Each of these three spots is a veritable playground for climbing and we’re sure to have a blast wherever we go.

Depending on your skills, how long you have to spend climbing and your preferences, we will tailor the perfect itinerary that best prepares you for your next trip.

These are just a few of the things we’ll try to go over during our time together:

*   General rope maintenance, taking rope coils and rope work
    
*   Body belays, selecting and using direct belays
    
*   Rock protection
    
*   Route finding and navigation
    
*   Descending and abseiling
    
*   How to prusik
    
*   Crevasse rescue training
    
*   Ice axe and crampon techniques (only available during the winter)

For avid winter walkers looking to learn the necessary skills to make slightly tougher snow-covered ascents, then our 4-day winter mountaineering trip in Scotland is right for you!

We are extremely flexible with these programs, so let us know what works best for you. We can even alter the number of days, depending on your travel plans.

The excitement begins on day one as we meet up and begin going over some of the necessary  rope work as well as other useful skills and techniques.

We'll then head out right away to try out what we've just learned. Depending on weather conditions, reliable learning venues include Stob Coire nan Lochain and Buachaille Etive Beag in Glencoe, Sgorr Dearg above Ballachulish and Beinn a Chaorainn.

As we go on this first climb, we will go over different types of snows as well as how to use ice axes and crampons properly.

The second and third day will be spent going over more safety and decision making lessons as well as making some more ascents of classic winter mountaineering routes, such as East Ridge of Beinn a Chaorainn, Number 4 Gully, CMD Arete and/or Schoolhouse Ridge, among others.

The fourth day is the highlight of the trip. It will see us take on a more challenging winter ascent, such as Aonach Eagach, Sron na Lairig and/or Number 2 Gully, among others.

By the time we part ways, you will have a solid winter mountaineering base of knowledge and be prepared for future treks!
