Guidebooks
Winter Climbing – Scottish Winter Climbs (SMC); available in paper format or on the Rockfax App
Winter Walking -https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/ is pretty comprehensive and free.
Prerequisites
The Western Highlands are a great venue for winter climbers and walkers of all levels, including novices. But we recommend that anyone that’s completely new to either of these activities do a course beforehand to familiarise themselves with the winter specific skills they need. A weekend course in Scotland earlier in the season should be sufficient. Many commercial instructors and courses operate accross the highlands and can easily be found online.
For winter climbing, summer trad climbing is also a very helpful (arguably essential) grounding as it teaches many of the core skills required, including: rope management, placing gear, building belays, route finding, and coping with being scared!
