Jagged Globe We started off on the Zig Zags, and learnt how to safely move together using a rope. Rob, Kevin and Rick learnt about direct belays and different ways of using a rope. At this point we hadn't reached the snow line. We moved up onto the Stob Coire Nan Lochan ridge and got stuck into the climbing. The first photo shows Kevin making his way up. The second photo shows Rick enjoying a section of the ridge.
We got to the summit in good time and the team showed they could navigate in difficult conditions, and not fall into the common Nav black spot of heading off to Bidean.
On the way down we wanted to check out the Gullies of the same aspect as those on The Ben, to help determine a plan for Monday. We first analysed Broad Gully, and moved onto SC gully. I was just about able to find a 'safe' position where I could see over the edge. I was pleased to see that nobody had climbed the route today - there was at least 5-6 inches of fresh slab on the surface of the old harder snow.
