WINTER SKILLS, SGURR A' MHAIM

Rob and Wendy were out today on the start of their two day winter skills course. We headed up into Coire Mhusgain, below the Devils Ridge. It was a much better day than forecast, with the cloudbase above 1000m, very little breeze and dry all day. It was a cooler day than yesterday which is helping to consolidate the snowpack. We covered basic walking techniques with ice axe and crampons and the usual sliding down the snow slopes. North & South gullies on Stob Ban were looking in good shape.
