Mountainvision Winter Courses 2008
Takes you into some magnificent winter mountain scenery - the hills of Torridon, the Fannichs and the Coulin Forest above Strathcarron. It is not uncommon to spend the whole week without meeting another party in the winter hills. Client/Guide ratio of 6:1
An introduction to moving along the winter ridges of
Liathach, Ben Eighe, and An Teallach, to name a few. This course introduces you to, or refreshes skills in, the ropework and
techniques required to gain access safely to the remote ridges and gullies
of up to Grade 1, on the mountains of Wester Ross.
Follows on from Winter Mountaineering, but with a client/guide ratio of 3:1. This allows the party to tackle gullies up to Grade 2, and to go onto more technical winter ground. The greater technical demands of this course would suit clients with some experience of winter mountaineering, or summer rock climbing up to VD.
With a client/guide ratio of 2:1, this course is concerned
with winter climbing up to Grade 3. You need not have had previous experience in
winter or summer climbing. The course is designed to introduce clients to winter
climbing in remote situations. As with all winter courses, the first day is
spent learning or refreshing winter skills in ice-axe arrest, step
Routes up to Grade 5 or Grade 4

Some of the best mountaineering venues and
challenges in Britain are found in the North West of Scotland. If you are
seeking wilderness and remote corries and mountains, then you just have to
travel north of the Great Glen in winter.
