Winter anchors

 Mozz, Mark, David and I have had a snow skills day today at Aonach Mor which allowed us to fill some knowledge gaps and recover the energy levels a bit. We looked at avalanche knowledge, snow anchors and movement skills as the freezing level rose above the summits. Huw and Karl headed to the Cairngorms and early rumours suggest that they may have climbed ice 😀

Teaching winter mountaineering today with Fabio and Mark. It’s been a bit more blustery than of late so we stayed lower and got them on the sharp end in ascent and descent. Bit of a turbo thaw coming in tomorrow but a great start to winter. Fancy joining us for more of this? Check out Expeditionguide.com for our full winter programme.
