Winter Mountaineering

Our mountaineering days will take you along a classic ridge or up a graded gully.  The days will normally involve the use of a walking axe - not technical climbing axes; however, the variable nature of the Scottish winter conditions can make a grade I plod highly exciting on the day.

A good level of competence in winter hill walking is required for these days

Central Gully Ben Lui (Grade I) – CENTRAL HIGHLANDS

A classic mountaineering outing up one of the biggest snowfields in the Central Highlands and finishing by the summit cairn, Ben Lui’s Central Gully is a quality 3 star route. It’s either a long walk in or a wade round the back so we plan to take bikes in from Dalrigh if possible.
