The Objectives

You’ll have 5 fantastic days of practical learning out in Snowdonia National Park. You’ll become confident enough to extend your walking and scrambling skills into a year-round pursuit. You’ll learn all the safety skills and considerations you need to feel confident mountaineering in winter.

Itinerary

* Please note: Itinerary is subject to weather and availability.

You’ll develop your skills in winter navigation, ropework for travel over rock, snow and ice, and cover emergency bivouacking skills as well as learning the use and choice of ice axe and crampons.

Experience Required

You should have done some summer hillwalking, and be keen to get stuck into some wintery walks. You don’t need to be a superhero to take on this course, you’ll just need to be a fit summer hill walker. You’ll find it a bonus if you have already done some scrambling.

Exploring the mountains in winter is an exciting challenge, and ultimately a very rewarding one. The feeling of reaching a peak having navigated varied, icy and snowy terrain is like no other and offers summit views that are unbeatable.
