Scottish Winter Update March 2021
This is the first winter for over 20 years where I have not been able to enjoy introducing clients to the delights of Scottish winter mountaineering. Nearly 365 days since lock down began this winter season has been very different. Early season conditions were tricky with unconsolidated snow. As ever we always say we need a good thaw and a refreeze. After numerous days when skiing was the best option, the weather delivered leaving the Highlands with low level ice you would dream for. It was wonderful to climb ice close to the road and low down on Ben Nevis. It coud have only been made better if I could have shared it with my clients as well as my friends. As Spring arrives its still snowing up high and the winter adventures will continue. For all those folk that have had to postpone their bookings I truly hope that the winter of 2022 will deliver the same.

I would like to thank you again for a very enjoyable week and thank you for pushing me into that last day as it has given me the drive and understanding to push myself to better things and you were spot on with your judgment.

Just wanted to say thank you for a fantastic weekend, I learnt so much and more than anything hearing about what you have done and seeing your pictures has given me inspiration to get my own expedition sorted. I have already started googling what mountains there are in the Arctic circle.

Adele, I wanted to say thanks for your guiding on skye at the weekend. We all had a phenomenal time and will be returning again as soon as possible. Your guiding was relaxed and very professional we all felt very at ease all the time.
