Distance - 12KM
Ascent - 910M
Time - 7/9 hours
Join us for a winter hike where we will be taking in one munro and refreshing your skills as we go. Ben Challuim can be known for its boggy approach in the summer months so winters the perfect time to achieve this summit and a little less busy too!
What the day includes -
Meeting in the morning we will do a quick kit check before heading off for the day, once past the farms we have a long and gradual ascent for most of this hike. Hoping that the terrain will be frozen to make light work of the bog crossings!
The final summit approach is a fine ridge which can feel a bit more exposed in the winter months before a short ascent to the munro top. This is an out and back hike so we will be retracing our footsteps the same way we ascended.
On ascent and descent we will be refreshing your previous winter skills so you get the most out of the day.
You must supply your own B2 Winter boots for this event, you can hire these from the likes of Tiso. If you have micro spikes please bring these to the event.
Helmet , crampons and ice axes are included in the event price. If you have your own winter kit please bring it along with you and we can check that it’s suitable to use.
You must have strong summer hill fitness and winter experience to attend this event.
Please note - snow pack conditions can affect our route choice at times. If this is the case another route will be chosen if possible but we may have to put an alternative hike in place due to safety.
Meeting location and kit list will be received upon booking.
