Wet Southern End

 We’ve had a couple of recovery days after our big day on Monday so today felt good to be back in the hills. Claire and I made a conscious decision to not climb the Southern end of the ridge in our one day weather window so we headed that way today. It was pretty grim so we touched the top on Sgurr Dubh an DaBheinn and satisfied ourselves with that. Not much in the way of views but great to be moving and we enjoyed Orchids and Eagles on our way back.

 Another beautiful summers day in the mountains. We were joined by Huw and split into a couple of teams. I roped up with Julia and Claire and we enjoyed some lovely scrambling in Cwm Idwal - there might even have been a swim this afternoon 😀

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.
