A list of - in my opinion - some of Scotland's best winter routes. I've made sure to include a good range in the climbs; ridges, gullies, mixed and ice which span from the shores of loch Lomond to the remote north west, no matter what grade you climb or which part of Scotland you're exploring there should be a couple things on here to have a go at!
This is more an inspiration list rather then a 'Ticklist' since I wanted to include all styles and grades over all of scotland, making it unreasonable to complete in 4 years. But If your dead set on ticking, I'm sure you'll get your moneys worth working through, for example, all the IVs or all the mixed routes! Just ticking all the I/IIs would be a great achievement on its own right, and for the midgrade climbers I've included a couple of less travelled routes which deserve more attention to get you off the beaten track. There's also a few harder routes to inspire you to get out of bed on those cold dark early mornings.
Enjoy!
