GALLERY

We understand that getting a quality nights sleep and being able to dry your equipment can make all the difference to the comfort and enjoyment of your course, so we have used some of the local youth hostels due to the fact they provide what we need well. The rooms are priced on a sharing basis, but we can also arrange private rooms and/or different accommodation if you wish.

Day 1 Fiacaill Ridge, Cairngorms

We plan to meet in Aviemore, chat through equipment and aspirations for the day before heading up to the Cas car park where will will be able to see the grandeur of the Northern Corries. A gentle start leads us into the glacial features before we take a turn and head up towards Corie an t-Shneachda where we will make our way towards 'twin-ribs', this provides an enjoyable alternative to gain the ridge before we traverse towards the main event. We can then pick and choose a variety of lines to make the scrambling a little easier or harder depending the conditions. We weave our way up the grippy granite, with exposed drops above Fiacaill Buttress but easier options on the Lochan side if need be, all the effort to be rewarded with fabulous views across to Shelterstone and the Loch Avon basin.
