Another great winter skills and Scottish winter mountaineering day on Cairngorm with Islean and Alec and a great start to the New Year. We managed to get plenty of navigation practise, crampon practise on little cornices and on crevassed terrain, lunch in a snow-hole as well as basic rope-work and abseil techniques!
Bullet hard snow, sun and absolutely stunning views across Scotland above the sea of cloud together with the most amazing sunset as we headed back down.
After the two day winter skills course Islean and Alec are now ultra keen to come back for the full winter mountaineering and winter climbing courses.
