Welsh Winter Skills
I have been joined for 3 days by Mark & Emily for some private guiding. Today we spent the day looking at winter skills in all of the freshly fallen snow. We headed up Y Garn and looked at ice axe and crampon skills including self arrest. We talked about avalanche avoidance and noted the biggest pools of Graupel that I have ever seen and we looked at emergency use of the rope. A great day out. It was not as cold as forecast with valley temperatures around 3c. There was the odd light shower during the day but no real additional accumulations of snow.
