Lean conditions

21st January 2022

In an ideal world there would definitely be more snow and it would be colder! Although it's been warm and the wintery weather hasn't come to much over the last couple of weeks we have still been able to deliver good quality winter skills training.

There are still some huge areas of snow that are enduring well. Linking these areas up to move around the mountains has worked really well so far and everyone has enjoyed their training with us. The January sunshine has definitely helped a lot!

Fingers crossed winter makes a return in February and doesn't decide to hold off untl May!

Winter courses

Fun, varied and useful Our guide Johnny took us out on a cold and wintry but not very snowy day for winter skills training. We found patches of snow to practice self-belay and ice axe arrest, and learnt winter navigation skills, with flora and fauna pointed out along the way. The day was very much tailored to our group's needs and abilities so everyone was challenged but not pushed too far. Really fun, educational and useful for future winter walks.
