A catch up after a busy period up in the mountains with Hebridean Pursuits.

It has been absolutely sublime over the last few weeks up here on the west coast of Scotland and we have been really busy running courses in the mountains.

We have been guiding climbs, instructing mountaineering, coaching winter walking skills and teaching winter lead climbing.

With the longer days and glorious cold yet sunny conditions it has been a delightful to be high on ridges and faces with our clients.

Spring is around the corner but the winter conditions remain extremely good. We have courses running well into April and if you are keen to get some 'alpine' climbing in high up on Ben Nevis we can arrange that for you.

Yet again the photos tell the story.
