Guided Winter Climbing in the Lakes

We offer guided winter climbing and personal tuition in the Lake District any time conditions are favourable. A flexible approach to both timing and venue is the best to take advantage of any good climbing conditions whenever and wherever they occur. If you want to tackle a specific challenge, or you just want a really good day out on the hill then this is for you. Our established range of winter skills courses caters for the climber or walker wishing to develop their winter mountaineering skills. Private guiding and instruction is available for individuals or groups, by the day or longer. We will meet your precise requirements. One of our regular winter skills courses can be tailored to your specific needs; you may be looking for a guided ascent of a chosen route or a day’s instruction on a particular topic. I normally undertake all instruction and guiding personally, but I can of course arrange for extra guides and instructors for one or more days where larger groups are concerned or if I am not personally available. We can arrange your accommodation for you. This can be whatever you choose: there is convenient hotel, guesthouse, B&B and self-catering accommodation available: the choice is yours. Packed lunches and evening meals can normally be provided if required for anyone not self-catering. Sometimes it is possible to arrange accommodation in a climbing “club hut”. I can make all the arrangements for you and confirm the price. Of course, we always make every effort to use the prevailing conditions to their best advantage. We will prepare an itinerary to your specific requirements and if you are considering a different venue whether it’s in Scotland or elsewhere we arrange private guiding and instruction anywhere, any time, by arrangement. Just ring us to discuss your plans!
