Intro To Winter Mountaineering, Day 2 - Sunday

Glenmore Lodge - Introduction to Winter Mountaineering

On the second day (Sunday) of the winter mountaineering course Tim, Chris, Gareth,  Elliot and I headed off to the Twin Ribs in Coire an t-Sneachda. This was a close venue to help Gareth make a quick exit at lunchtime to catch his flight home. We looked at some simple ropework, different types of anchor and belay techniques, before we did what Chris was looking forward to - a small abseil.

For the second day in a row the thaw was making the snow soft, but still Aladdin's Mirror Direct was climbed as well as most of the usual suspect mixed climbs.
