Bristly Ridge

 Fliss, Doug and I were joined by trainee instructor Hannes today and we headed up Tryfan via Little and North Gullies. I’d plumped for the gully option to manage the strong winds but as we sat on the summit in the sunshine and light winds we realised life was a lot better than forecast. With that realisation and time in the bag we nipped up Bristly Ridge to top another great day of Classic Scrambles.

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.
