![[Winter Skills Courses Scotland, 4 kb]](http://img.ukclimbing.com/t/77011.jpg)
I have had a cancellation this morning and so I have got 3 spaces on a five day winter skills course in Scotland from the 28th January to the 1st Feb. This course is an introductory course and is ideal for anyone wanting to head out in winter conditions for the first time. It is not a climbing course and you do not need any previous experience - you just need to be reasonably fit.
The course content includes:
Ice axe and crampon craft
Ice axe arrest
Winter navigation
Avalanche risk assessment
Emergency snowshelters/ survival
These skills will be learnt on mountain days, hopefully taking in some of the major peaks. During the week we will also discuss avalanche risk assessment, cold injuries and hypothermia.
The cost is £300 per person and there is a range of accommodation options (not included in the price) on my website.

Happy mountaineering!
