Winter Mountaineering Skills
Today I was out with Jonny and Stanze (who had already done one day with Charlie yesterday) to take their winter skills a notch higher and introduce some snow anchors and emergency shelters. Staying out of the wind again we headed for the Ciste gullys and didn't get too blasted.
Hill and Moorland Leader Training
This weekend I have been in a very wet and windy South Wales running a Hill and Moorland Leader Training course for 5 candidates from Marauders Men's Health in Port Talbot. The weather was a constant battle but we were able to stay low and work around it using lesser know parts of the Brecon Beacons. Working for Adventures with Will
Number 2 Gully - Ben Nevis
Even though things winter is slowing thawing, we were able to get into Number Two Gully high up on Ben Nevis where conditions are hanging on. The whole days was spent in mist and the route was a little soggy in places but that didn't stop lots of learning taking place Working for Wet and High Adventures Ltd
The Gutter - Glen Nevis
With high winds and rain forecast up high, I headed into Glen Nevis with Ben and Robin to look at some ropework and mountaineering skills on The Gutter (Diff) and some other simple mountaineering ground.
