Description: Winter Mountaineering For those of you who have never ventured into the hills in winter it can be a very daunting prospect with short days and poor weather possible. For rock climbers thinking of venturing onto ice for the first time this may be a scary thought, how do I place ice screws and how good is the ice?
Ascent Training's winter courses whether for the first time winter walker or ice climber are designed to inspire you to return to the winter wonderland and teach you the essentials to keep yourself save when you do return.
Our instructors are always friendly and fully qualified and we endeavour to tailor the course to the aims of the clients.
Our winter mountaineering courses are run in Scotland as the conditions are more reliable on the big mountains. However should the conditions be good in the Lake District or Wales, courses can be run there. As well as our courses we offer a private guiding option for those wishing to do the classic snow and ice climbs in the British Isles. Click here to visit our winter Mountaineering page
