A great final day with Tom and Joe. We climbed some nice ice, we built some snow anchors, did some abseiling, saw a Ptarmigan and kept out of the wind. Ace! Thanks very much both for a lovely week.
Some super strong winds kept us in the valley today. We headed to a popular Onich Slabs for some dry tooling and rope skills. Lots of good learning and the legs got a rest too!
Tom and I headed up the Ben today. It was windier than expected (accentuated by some funnelling down the Allt a Mhuilinn) and we had to dig deep to get high. We climbed North Gully which gave some lovely climbing and a choice of finishes. Some ace progression for Tom and another good work out!
This week we are out with Tom, Joe and Charlotte on our winter mountaineering and climbing course. Huw and Charlotte headed to Creag Meghaidh whilst I went to Glencoe. The snow and conditions were great although the views were lacking 😀
