Efficient Roped Scrambling

 When we first learn how to use a rope to make the harder scrambles safer, it can all feel a bit slow and clunky. With practice we can build efficiency and we can learn a variety of techniques that we can match to the terrain. We learn to read the ground we have covered, the ground we are on and the ground ahead of us and be adaptable in the skills we use to manage the hazard. Over time we can begin to flow and so the rope is no longer a hindrance but is a thread that connects us to our partner as we share an adventure. This was the theme of our day as Gareth and Steve lead us up the East Ridge of Y Garn in some slightly damp conditions - a novelty of late! https://www.expeditionguide.com/advanced-scrambling-learn-to-lead-course/

Cuillin Ridge Traverse

Congratulations to Tom and Laura who have rounded off a fine week on Skye with a two day traverse of the Cuillin Ridge with Huw. They did every summit and all of the climbs with a chilly bivvy on Thursday night - a fantastic achievement on the greatest mountaineering expedition in the UK.

South Gully, Stob Ban

I am out with Rach and Angus this week for our Scottish Winter Mountaineering & Climbing course . We headed up Stob Ban today as South Gully has been on Rachels tick list for a while and Huw's photos from his traverse of the mountain yesterday had sown the seed with me. As we walked up the valley we could see that the freezing level had risen and sure enough the snow was fairly soft as we approached the route. After a chat at the entrance to the gully we agreed that the forgiving snow and the masses of experience that Rach & Angus have meant that we could move up the gully without a rope to begin with. As we gained height the snow got firmer and so the consequences of a slip increased. We got the rope out to pitch our way up the remainder of the route and past the cornice. The views from the summit were stunning in all directions and the light on our descent was magical. Thanks very much both - mega!

Cuillin Ridge

Congratulations Claire! A big day yesterday traversing from Sgurr Alasdair to Sgurr Nan Gillean on the Cuillin Ridge on Skye. We left  Glenbrittle at 5:00am and headed up Sgurr Alasdair from Coire A Ghrunnda. 12 hours of some of the best scrambling in the world saw us at the other end on Sgurr Nan Gillean. Conditions were perfect with good views, light winds, dry rock and cool temperatures - Claire obviously has friends in high places. An awesome day to make the most of a narrow weather window, thanks very much!
