Winter climbing

Winter climbing is what we do best. We are local, we know the northwest highlands and the Ben is our home Mountain!. Ice climbing courses, winter climbing courses, we have it all.

If you want to do that grade V, want to sort out your mixed technique, or want to start to learn to lead and look at protecting winter routes, then Mountain Motion can help you achieve all this under expert guidance. Our winter climbing courses and ice climbing courses will take your current abilities and develop them so that you can climb harder and safer in the winter. Of course if you fancy being guided up that route of a lifetime that's cool as well, just give us a call.

Winter climbing courses and ice climbing courses are detailed below.

All courses assume some winter mountaineering experience and / or some summer climbing experience. Winter climbing courses and ice climbing courses vary in difficulty. If in doubt give us a call. We will advise and discuss all aspects with you. All our climbing courses only work at 1:2 ratio to give you the best coaching.
