Our Scottish Winter Climbing Experience

Have you ever stared up at a frozen ridgeline, watched spindrift dance in the wind, and thought—I want to be up there?

This is your chance to make that dream real.

Join us for a privately guided winter climbing experience through some of Scotland’s most iconic and challenging routes. Whether you're taking your first swing at Scottish winter or you're ready for something steeper and more committing, every day is tailored to your skills, fitness, and ambitions.

Our 1:1 or 1:2 guiding means total focus and flexibility. If booking as a pair, we recommend climbing partners who share similar ability, fitness, and—most importantly—a shared sense of adventure.

Expect big mountain days:
🕐 5–8 hours on the move
📍 10–12km through wild terrain
🏔️ Occasionally stretching to 15km on longer routes

Along the way, we’ll pause to refine your technical skills, soak in the views, and connect deeply with the unique rhythm of winter in the Scottish Highlands.

Come with solid hill fitness, some prior winter experience, and an open mind. This isn’t just a course—it’s an immersion in the raw, beautiful soul of Scottish winter climbing.
