Scottish Highlands, 5 Day Winter Summit Course

The peaks, or munros, of the Scottish Highlands, while not necessarily known as prime destinations for mountaineering enthusiasts, are nonetheless great spots for climbing. And in the winter they are absolutely amazing, not just for the great views, but also because of the challenge they offer, despite only having a range of altitude between 600 and 1,345 metres, which is the height of Ben Nevis, the highest peak in the United Kingdom.

The course I am offering is for 5 days. Thus giving you more than twice the amount of time than the other, 2 day option of this course. As a result, you will get to learn a great deal. From navigation and kit checks, to essential skills and snow cave sheltering. We will also cover many other different techniques as well, and on the last day you will get to enjoy a client led climbing expedition on one of the many munros in the area. Just a few examples of potential climbs include Stob Ban (999m), Mullach nan Coirean (939m), Bidean nam Bian (1,150m) and many more. And after this course is completed, You will have gained the kind of important knowledge necessary to not only climb safely and properly in the Scottish Highlands, but in other mountain ranges as well.

Every day of this course, which will be between 6-8 hours, will be different. Every day will involve new lessons, new tips, and new techniques to practice. It will also involve new peaks and new views to enjoy as well.

If this sounds like the kind of adventure you want to enjoy, one that involves as much excitement as it does knowledge, send me a request, and join me for 5 days in the Scottish Highlands.

Would you like to climb Ben Nevis? If so, I can lead you to the summit on this 1 day winter ascent.
