Based in Ephin, surrounded by the wonderful hills of Assynt, this trip will make the most of what the area can offer. We’ll be hoping for winter conditions locally, but we can move inland to get them if we have to. If there is no snow we will run this as a summer conditions trip. We’ll be based in the Grampian Speleological Society’s hut for this trip. It has all the usual facilities. We will be staying in mixed dorms.

Options for this trip is to get on some great mountaineering routes on the Assynt and Coigach Hills – Stac Pollaidh, Suilven, Cul Mor all have amazing ridge routes, as does the southeast ridge of Conival. Inland, we have other options on Beinn Dearg or even down on An Teallach if we have to travel to get conditions.

Previous experience seconding Scottish winter climbing routes is essential.
