There’s no hiding the fact that the ice conditions in Scotland at the moment are reported as awful and non-existant, but as we don’t offer ice courses there precisely due to this regular uncertainty. We are happy to let you know that the Alpine ice conditions are very good now! The best ice is currently in the Val de Cogne, though the Chamonix area conditions are fast improving. Classic routes such as Cold Couloir, and the Argentiere icefalls have all been climbed.
