Welsh Winter Skills




It has been a beautiful day in Snowdonia and I have been out with Linda, Karen, Richard, David & Andy for the last of my winter skills courses for this winter. We headed up into Cwm Cneifion and found enough snow to look at use of the boot, axe and crampons as tools including some step cutting and some ice axe arrest. The snow as a bit soft and sugary but the main gully lines such as Easy Gully and Tower Gully are still complete and might make a nice outing tomorrow if the forecast of lower temperatures is correct for the morning. A great day out in the sunshine.
