Come and join us for a Winter skills course in the Lake District or Scotland.

There are a lot of skills and knowledge that are unique to the winter environment. During the winter months mountainous regions transform into very serious places to be. On the other hand, time spent exploring and learning within these environments are amazing experiences and can be valuable to your mountaineering development. 

Learning the skills required to operate in winter conditions is essential to safely travel within the mountains. Olly can provide winter skills courses ranging from one to five days where skills can be introduced and practiced and then consolidated in numerous locations. 

Skills that can be covered include:

• Winter equipment and clothing
• Movement on snow
• Self arrest and self belay using an ice axe
• Use of crampons
•  Winter navigation skills 
• Winter weather
• Snow and avalanche awareness
• Emergency shelters
