[ad_1] With rain due for sometime in the afternoon, we decided to have a shorter day, by tackling Sgurr a'Ghreadaidh and Sgurr a'Mhadaidh, which worked out well, as we were down just before the rain arrived. It was a day of fluctuating temperatures, from very warm in the sunshine one minute, to bitterly cold as […]
[ad_1] With such a good weather forecast, Steve and I thought that we should capitalise on it, by tackling Sgurr Mhic Choinnich, The In Pinn and Sgurr na Banachdich for the first day of our four day Skye Munros Course. We made steady progress up the An Stac Screes and from Bealach Lagan, made a […]
[ad_1] Not all in one day by one team I hasten to add! This is what our teams have been up to over the past couple of days. I've been enjoying some ski touring in the Alps and en-route home, met Ruth in Arrochar, to bag the summit of The Cobbler, possibly the finest of […]
[ad_1] Some years, the transition from winter to summer seems to take a while, whereas others, it seems to happen almost overnight and this year is definitely one of the latter. The weather in the Highlands recently has been incredible, with wall-to-wall sunshine almost everyday. When it's like this, there really is no better place […]
[ad_1] With the longer daylight hours and an amazing spell of excellent weather, our thoughts have now well and truly turned to our spring and summer mountaineering courses in the Scottish Highlands. We will be running a number of our popular 4-day Cuillin Munros Courses (£489 guiding fees, including the use of helmet and harness), […]
[ad_1] I was back out with Marcin and Pawel today and with such a good forecast and cooling temperatures, we ventured back up to Ben Nevis to see what was on offer. There's a reasonable amount of snow-ice on the mountain, but many routes are missing just enough to make them unfeasible at the moment. […]
[ad_1] ❄️The forecast for 30 March – 8 April must be one of the best looking periods for winter climbing this season❄️ We still have availability over the next couple of weeks, so if you’re not quite ready to hang up your crampons and ice axes this winter, get in touch! [ad_2]
[ad_1] For the past couple of days, I've been out with Phil, Marcin and Pawel. I was out with Phil last winter, but for Marcin and Pawel, it's their first time in the Scottish Highlands. We opted for Castle Ridge on Ben Nevis yesterday, which was largely snow free until we gained the summit of […]
[ad_1] Jamie has been out with us a number of times over the years, slowly building up his skill set and experience. Jamie also gains sponsorship for these trips, to support the Teddy Bear Childen Support. This year, we decided that the East Ridge of Beinn a'Chaorainn would be a good objective. The approach through […]
[ad_1] Uncertainty, adventure, spindrift, strong winds, snow, poor visibility, good ice, bad ice, firm snow, soft snow. Yep, we had it all today and it was great to be out in it. I was out with Chris, who was keen to climb Tower Ridge and the forecasts were such that there was a chance that […]
