Learning Skills On The Ben

Today on day 2 of our course, we hit the Ben. Many climbing routes are now missing, but we saw people climbing on Point 5 and Hadrians as well as the Comb.
Point 5 and Hadrians looked still okay. There was at least 2 teams on the Point and 1 team on Hadrians. There was 1 solo climber on Tower Scoop - and he said it was 'okay' !

We got on with our skill training. We did all sorts of slipping, sliding, and general rolling about down steep slopes. Awesome fun... Here's James having a laugh..
We moved on to snow anchors, and bucket seats to start. Here is James digging... We couldn't destroy anybody's bucket seats or buried axes - awesome work... Barrie's seat held 3 men pulling hard..
We moved on to abseiling and did the S. A. Abseil.. Just a quickie before we headed home.
On my way home (!) I had a quick look at Stob Coire nan Lochan. Broad Gully is getting thin, and Dorsal has perhaps gone now...
