Introduction to Winter Mountaineering

I was working for EICA Ratho at the weekend running this course.

Saturday we spent on Gael Charn in Drumochter  revising our movement skills and looking out steeper ground to get us prepped for getting onto “mountaineering terrain”. The weather wasn’t as bas as forecast with only the odd heavy, snow shower, but it was windy. We also revised our self-arrest skills.

Sunday we headed into the Northern Corries and climbed some steep ground on the Fiaciall ridge and then at the end of the day looked at snow anchors. A good day of weather but windy at times.
