Winter in the Highlands brings a unique challenge. Ice, snow, and rapidly changing weather create an environment that demands respect and preparation. Our winter climbing courses and guided days are designed to give you the skills to move with confidence on snow and ice, while staying safe in the harshest conditions.

Scotland is home to world-class rock climbing, with routes ranging from friendly introductory climbs to steep, technical challenges. In Fort William and surrounding areas, our guides introduce climbers of all levels to classic lines, focusing on safe ropework, movement skills, and building confidence on the rock. For experienced climbers, we also guide more demanding routes and bucket list climbs.

For those seeking the ultimate mountaineering experiences, few routes match the drama and exposure of the Cuillin Ridge on the Isle of Skye or the Aonach Eagach in Glencoe. The Cuillin Ridge traverse is a world-renowned challenge that requires stamina, skill, and expert route-finding. At the same time, Scotland offers many other scrambles with spectacular settings, such as Curved Ridge in Glencoe and the mighty Tower Ridge.
