Aonach Mor Winter Skills..

Gemma, Emily, Simon, Rob, Pete and Steve have been out with me on Anoach Mor today doing some winter skills training.

Over the course of the day we looked at avalanche assessment, crampon and axe use, axe arrest and also managed to take in the summit before descending via the ski area.

Tomorrow will hopefully involve a mountain journey putting the above skills into practice.

There is plenty of snow about on the hill at the moment, making travel time consuming in some places. Coire an Laiogh in the Grey Corries looked very white from a distance suggesting good conditions, although the long approach would best be achieved on ski..
