Fuar Tholl..

Today was the first of five days winter mountaineering with Danny, Richard, Paul, Andy, Terry and Louise for local Mountain Guide Martin Moran.

With about 50cm of fresh snow down to sea level here in Glen Carron we opted to go into Fuar Tholl from Achnashellach. Some determined trail breaking took us up into the corrie below the south east cliff, where we practised some essential skills.

From here we made an ascent of the north east ridge in the teeth of a northerly gale...

Will post some images when I have a better Internet connection.
