Winter Skills Weekend
Today I have been joined by Paul and Gaby for a winter skills weekend. It has been a thoroughly wet day and we headed up onto Aonach Mor in light rain and got wetter as the day went on! We had a good day though looking at avalanche avoidance, movement skills, ice axe and crampons and snow shelters. There is still lots of deep snow about that is now saturated and some cornice collapse was evident. It is due to get cold overnight and tomorrow so it could be good if the snowpack freezes. There is also more snow forecast so again keep your eye on the avalanche forecast.
