Dorsal Arete

 That’s the last day of our Scottish Winter courses this year but it was a fine day to finish on. Zeb, Stephen, Steve and I have been to Glencoe’s Stob Coire nan Lochan where Stephen and Zeb did a grand job of leading the team up Dorsal Arete. The was firm enough snow to climb on for the lower part of the route and when we reached the fin we stowed our ice axes and climbed on the dry rock; all very Alpine like. Thanks all for a great week and a great Winter of courses.

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.
