Snow Craft Day

Ian in Corie Cas

Spent the day today looking at snow skills: boot placements, using the axe, self-belay, self-arrest and also at snow belays.

Mild but mostly dry day today, snow pack was wet and homogeneous today – spring snow basically.

Colder day forecast for tomorrow, then wild for the end of the week.
