In full winter conditions the Scottish hills can have serious consequences if you are unprepared. Sometimes, taking a rope for unplanned use will be prudent. As always though, kit is only as good as the person using it! This course will give a practical introduction for hill walkers using a rope on the hill in winter. Selection of appropriate snow anchors as well as belay and abseil techniques will be covered. Expect lots of digging!
Participants should be competent winter walkers with a basic awareness of snowpack analysis.
