On Sunday Roksana, Geoff, Mike & Andy were on their second day of a winter skills course. We had an excellent mix of winter conditions, fresh snow, windslab, neve, frozen turf and wind-scoured ridges as we made our way on to Beinn Ghlas via the Northern Corrie. We covered navigation, avalanche avoidance & assessment and moveing on steep ground. Snowcover from 6oom and with a few snow showers through the day, with poor visability in the showers, winds had eased to 40mph on the tops, we even managed a few sunny intervals.

Unbeleivable amount of folk on the high tops with no rucksacs, no ice axes/crampons and we even spotted someone with a pair of aspproach shoes sliding about on the summit of Beinn Ghlas! Will folk never learn?

Shaping up to be a great March and end of season winter conditions, right through to April I guess.
