Dani finds the way

Dani and Paul wanted to learn ice axe arresting, fine navigation and avalanche awarenesss, so we headed to Aonach Mor. We got out of the westerly wind for our arresting, then headed for the strong westerly wind and near white out to practice navigation in slightly testing conditions. We also found all sorts of interesting snow types, including the new soft slab developing on the lee slopes.
