Join us this winter on the West Coast of Scotland for unforgettable days out in the mountains. With availability in January and February, we’ll be based around Ben Nevis, Glencoe, and the surrounding areas — home to some of the most iconic winter climbs in the UK. From mixed and ice climbing up to Grade VI on legendary classics like Point Five Gully on Ben Nevis, The Wand at Creag Meagaidh, and North Buttress on Buachaille Etive Mòr, this is Scottish winter climbing at its finest.

Our experienced guides will select routes and objectives that suit your ability, ambitions, and conditions on the day. Whether you want to tick off classic lines or develop new skills in the winter environment, we’ll make sure you get the most out of your time on the hill.

Is this for me?

We welcome both climbers keen to push onto classic Scottish winter routes and those wanting to build their confidence on snow and ice. We can cover everything from basic movement with crampons and ice axes to climbing steeper terrain, as well as winter navigation and avalanche awareness. If you’ve got routes in mind, we’ll do our best to make them happen.

Itinerary:

We’ll meet in the morning at an agreed location near Fort William or Glencoe to go over the plan for the day. After discussing your experience and goals, we’ll choose suitable objectives based on the latest weather and avalanche forecasts. Days typically run from early morning until late afternoon, with a strong focus on safety, skills, and adventure.

You can book single days or a longer block of guiding to make the most of Scotland’s winter season.
