You’ll cover winter weather, winter navigation, avalanche, and what to do in an emergency. We’ll also show you crampon and ice axe techniques, and also give you guidance on winter clothing and personal comfort. You’ll get plenty of time to consolidate your new skills in the mountains, taking in the stunning Snowdonia winter scenery.
