Today I was working for Adventure Peaks starting a 5 day Winter Skills course. On the course are Ken and Barry. This was Barry's first day with crampons.
We went to Aonach Mor around the Nid area. We did all the normal skills for day 1, use of the boot, uses for the axe, self arresting - sliding, rolling down the slopes. Use of crampons. The photo shows us on a rare commodity - an ice line at an altitude of only 750m - melting fas

t !At one point it felt like we had the entire mountain to our selves, then we met groups from PYB, and lots from Jagged Globe, - Okay we'll share the mountain.
We had poor visibility for most of the day, so perfect for practising navigation.
The guys had a great day and are all prepped for using these new skills in the days to come.
