Instinctively the three of us turn and head across the mountainside. We find two men and a woman, huddled together in the snow, unable to descend the steep icy slope between them and safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe woman asks if we are experienced in conditions like this. My friends and I have tackled a few winter hills in the Lake District and bumbled up easy rock climbs, but we have never been in a full Scottish winter snowstorm. I laugh and assure her that this is nothing to mountaineers like us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoon our hills will be empty and one day the last hillwalker will disappear over the horizon.
