Winter Skills - 15th Dec

15th December 2017

Beginning of our winter courses

Today was the start of our 2017/18 winter programme and it was great to have Mark & team out in proper Scottish conditions; poor visibility, freezing cold and hard work in the deep snow!

The team made their way into the flat ice in Coire an-t Sneachda.

More of the same tomorrow for Mark and team, as well as our various other groups who are out.

Winter courses

I completed the 2-day winter skills course with John followed by a 2-day winter climbing course with Dave. Can't recommend these two courses enough. Both John and Dave delivered two brilliant courses especially given the lack of snow! The winter skills course was informative and provided great foundational information on hiking safely in winter conditions. This led perfectly into the winter climbing course where Dave was extremely flexible given the conditions and my minimal climbing experience. We covered loads over the two days including leading, abseiling and belaying, to name a few. A great few days in Aviemore. Thank you Dave and John!
