Winter Walking & Winter Skills
Winter mountaineering offers one of the greatest challenges in the UK. Venturing onto the high summits in full winter conditions requires fitness, stamina, determination and essential skills to stay safe. However, the reward of standing on the summit as the sun is setting over a sea of white mountain tops makes winter mountaineering well worth the effort
