Winter skills galore

17th December 2017

This weekend we've had four winter skills teams and a winter mountainnering duo out (many continuing into next week too). Yesterday was tough going in deep fresh snow and this morning was tough in the thaw (rain). Nonethless, the teams have covered lots of ground and skills and even appear to be enjoying themselves!

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!
