Winter Mountaineering in Glen Coe



I have been joined for three days by Mick and Steve for a winter mountaineering course. Both guys have done quite a bit with me before although no winter mountaineering. We headed to the Zig Zags in Glen Coe which the boys lead for themselves with me alongside. We had lunch on the summit and then descended the route with the boys leading it again. This allowed us to look at a variety of belay types in ascent and descent as well as some abseiling and efficient use of the rope. We had some snow for a couple of hours around mid day and some sunshine later on.
