A list of - in my opinion - some of Scotland's best winter routes. I've made sure to include a good range in the climbs; ridges, gullies, mixed and ice which span from the shores of loch Lomond to the remote north west, no matter what grade you climb or which part of Scotland you're exploring there should be a couple things on here to have a go at!
Enjoy!
