Day 2 of the Introduction to Snow and Ice climbing. We headed to some low level ice and a short walk in (90 mins) - Stob Coire Nam Beith, North Face. On our way in we saw the normal weekend massive crowds. Some heading to No. 6 gully (not complete or in condition), some to Central Gully (not complete), and others to Church Door Buttress. We had our ice to ourselves until PYB and Phil turned up. My 2 climbers enjoyed learning about the joys of ice at grade 3, and later abseiling off ice..
