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

Chockstone Gully & North Gully Link Up (Grade II) – ARROCHAR

This is the best mountaineering route up to the summit of The Cobbler’s North Summit. Chockstone Gully is steady with the amazing jammed chockstone providing great sport at the end. Great Gully is further up and it continues to provide fine sport, topping out on the summit. If the gullies aren’t an option we’ll do the Southeast Ridge (Grade 2/3 or III) instead.
