Winter mountaineering

 It’s the first day of our winter mountaineering and climbing week and Huw and I have been joined by Mark, Mozz, Karl and David. We kicked the week off with a refresher of winter skills and a look at winter ropework at Aonach Nid with a sit start as the gondola wasn’t working 😀 With an improving forecast for the week it was good to have lots of fresh snow on the ground and in the air to refresh avalanche knowledge. We’ve also got a strong team out on our winter skills week which is being headed up by Tarquin.

Teaching winter mountaineering

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.
