Number Four Gully

I’ve been out with Tracy and Duncan today and we’ve had a pretty special day on Ben Nevis. We’ve shared some lovely days out over the years and they’ve joined me this week to prep for a summer trip to the Alps. We refreshed axe and crampon skills on the firm snow this morning and then headed up Number Four Gully. Duncan lead a couple of pitches at the top and then we popped out into the sunshine, all in awe of the views in all directions. Just magical. How took Sophie and Andy over to the Cairngorms for another magical day of spring mountaineering. We’re lucky bunnies this week.

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.
