Winter Mountain Skills
Our Winter Mountain Skills courses are about turning a summer mountaineering or climber into a winter warrior. The Winter Mountain skills you need to become a winter mountaineer stem from the harsh environment that you are required to survive in. Sub-zero temperatures, strong winds and extremely limited visibility make the environment challenging both for survival and for travel, and when snow and ice dominate the world around you we have to adapt our existing skills in order to safely enjoy these savage mountains.
These new skills include:
- Using Crampons
- Use of an Ice Axe
- Avalanche Assessment
- Poor Visibility Navigation
- Emergency shelters
- Snow Belays and Anchors
- Moving Quickly
Our courses take place in Snowdonia and as such the conditions are extremely fickle. As such we only set one date for our Winter Mountain Skills course and often cancel the course due to lack of conditions. However, we do offer individual days of guided winter classics which are better served for an individual wanting to experience welsh winter. We can also cover many of the subject mentioned above.
