Grade A
These walks include all the Munros and more demanding walks. Please note that during Winter months waterproof boots, jacket and over-trousers are essential, but the club does not expect walkers to have crampons or axe. In icy conditions leaders will either find alternative safe routes or change the walk destination.

Grade B
B walks are less demanding and include some of the Corbetts and Southern Uplands.
