Winter Mountaineering Day 1, Aonach Mor

Learning how to ice axe arrest

Moving efficiently with axe and crampons

Learning how to build (dig) an emergency shelter

Nearly finished with the emergency shelter

Day 1 of the Winter Mountaineering week, working with Zac and Chris. We used the Aonach an Nid area, to learn all the basic tools for safe movement on winter ground. This included ice axes, sliding, arresting, crampons, sliding, avalanche hazard avoidance, sliding, emergency shelters, self belays and sliding - and glissading ! Great fun in the soft fresh snow. Tomorrow we'll put it into practice on a long journey..
