Good weather though still breezy, refreshing Winter Skills with Vish and Rob.
Good firm snow ice with pockets of easily avoided wind slab which was perfect for practising crampon technique, avalanche assessment and route choice as we headed up to an old mountain refuge on the east side of Cairngorm.
The old snow has refrozen hard and crampons and good stiff boots are pretty essential in many places.
