This weekend meet provides an opportunity for members to meet together and appreciate Scottish winter climbing as well as simply meet with other members. 

To accommodate the interest amongst both Aspirant and Full members alike, 34 places are available at two venues just south of Fort William. 

Like previous years, a number of places will be available for those members wishing to join the meet but who do not have a climbing partner.   

Aspirants and Full members who meet all the competency requirements are very welcome to attend. 

The majority of members and their guests, usually plan to enjoy the wealth of winter climbs to be found on Ben Nevis, in Glen Coe, and in other areas accessible from the accommodation. The grade range of those attending varies, with the majority happy in the grade II to V bracket. Some may prefer easier routes of a mountaineering flavour, but these require the same basic skill sets. In suitable conditions, some people may choose to ski mountaineer, but primarily this is a climbing meet.

Please note that payment is required to secure a place.

Accommodation

Accommodation has been arranged at two venues for the Friday evening (28 February) and Saturday evening (1 March); the Corran Bunkhouse (£36.50 pppn) and the Alex MacIntyre hut (£20 pppn). The two venues are approximately 2.5 miles apart. The accommodation is self-catering. If you have a preference as regards venue, please let the Meet Coordinator know. Please note however that, depending on uptake, it may not be possible to allocate you a place in your preferred accommodation.
