In reply to Noob: oh my days! What have you started with your post? You might as well have put "please abuse me"
Anyway, look, I've not tried winter climbing yet either but I am ridiculously keen. Having said that I also don't know where best to start. I have some details of a few guides that I was planning to call on to get some training before heading out on my own.... Would you be keen to join?
Having said that, I would also be happy to entertain just going out and trying it post having a good old chat to see if it would work.
I'm currently based in London but have a camper van so will travel to Scotland once conditions are good.
Get in touch if you like
