Torridon Winter Mountaineering
From £855 Altitude 1,200m Grade: Advanced
Torridon Winter Mountaineering
You may have already been to one of the regular winter destinations of Glencoe, Ben Nevis or the Cairngorms but travel North a couple more hours and you will enter The Northwest Highlands and some of the most spectacular mountain peaks anywhere in the UK. If you enjoy remote wild, rugged peaks then this is the place for you...we are likely to have them to ourselves.
This week of Winter Mountaineering will be based around Torridon on grade 1-II/III routes combining utterly mesmerising photographic opportunities with sensational ridges and fantastic winter gullies. The mountains here are unique and totally different to other areas of the UK. Google the main peaks An Teallach, Beinn Alligan and Liathach and you will be impressed! Each peak is an expedition ideal for those aspiring to climbing a 6-7000m Peak, big days on big mountains requiring a high level of fitness.
It is ideal preparation to join an overseas expedition graded 2 or 3 such as: Island Peak, Bolivian Peaks, Tien Shan Peaks, Kyajo Ri, Peak Lenin, Himlung Himal, Baruntse
Previous Experience
To enjoy this week, you need to have previous experience of winter mountaineering to at least Scottish Grade I/II (Alpine PD+/AD) and have a high level of fitness to enjoy multiple 8-10 hr days with a minimum of 3600ft / 1300m of ascent over a mixture of terrain including broken rocky ground in ascent and decent. A basic understanding of belaying is essential e.g. from a climbing wall. In addition, you will need to have a flexible mind and outlook to deal with whatever conditions we experience.
If you wish to build up to this course, then consider joining our Winter Skills Weekend or Introduction to Winter Mountaineering course.
