Today working for Jagged Globe, I was with Alan and Andy. Today is the third day of their Mountaineering course. Today and for the rest of the week they will be in a 1:2 ratio with me.
Time to go climb.
We started today on Grade 1 ground by going down Easy Gully on Aonach Mor. We immediately got stuck in to rock belays, snow belays, rope work and techniques for climbing loose steep snow (a bit like swimming). Multi pitch climbing finished with a vertical face of steep loose snow to top out. They wondered why I was shovelling down tonnes of snow, but they immediately discovered the issues when it was their turn. We then abseiled into Morwind and did the top 2 pitches to experience grade2/3 ground.
They are definitely now ready for tomorrow.
(I accidentally deleted all photos from camera - oops - obviously they were awesome, and the best ever).
At the top of Aonach Mor I met Simon, who has done some freelance at Kilvrough Manor in South Wales.
