Winter Skills - Sunday

A view over to Coire an t-Sneachda

This weekend I was working for Glenmore Lodge on a Winter Skills course. Today was day 2 with Dav, Phil, Jon and Henry. Today was very different weather to yesterday, less wind, and better views! The guys a great fun literally throwing themselves down a slope testing their ice axe arrest before we headed up to the Coire Cas headwall to test their crampons.

Dav on the summit of Cairngorm - his first winter Munro

Dav was happy to get to the summit of Cairngorm as it was his first winter Scottish peak. The views were amazing, and such a contrast to yesterday. We could see over to Coire an t-Sneachda to see the climbers making their way up.

A bit of nav to finish the day

Stunning scenery

Thank you to Dav, Phil, Jon and Henry for making my weekend so much fun. Good luck to Dav for a fun day out tomorrow in the Cairngorms - but back to work for Henry, Phil, Jon and myself tomorrow.
