3 days of easy mountaineering led by yourself!Â
Already done a Winter Skills course and want to gain more experience under safe guidance? Why not try the 3 day bolt-on. The first morning would be used to brush-up those skills, and the next two and a half days to give them a really high shine...
Then, to consolidate your new found skills, we could get you to plan and deliver your own aims and objectives in and around Glencoe for the next 3 days, of course, all of it under our safe guidance...
Day 1-
Checking the weather report and planning an appropriate route / Carrying the right Kit / dealing with the ever changing conditions / using your winter equipment at the right time / Navigation / Avalanche Awareness.
We could summit Buachaille Etive Beag in Glencoe.
Day 2-
Same as above, but more technical Navigation and terrain. Stob Coire Nan Lochan via it's East Ridge or a round of The Mamores, taking in Am Bodach and Stob Ban.
Day 3-
You should be pretty solid and slick at the Skills now... Why not Ben Nevis by the Carn mor Dearg Arete?
Courses are run weekly from December to April
