WINTER SKILLS, FIACAILL RIDGE
There's a couple of climbers in our way!
Antony loving it
Great snow
Nearly there
Made it
Sunny, cold morning
Coming off in poor vis and dark
Top day out with Jimmy & Antony today. Day one of their winter skills course. We covered general moving on snow and ice in the morning then it was straight onto a wonderful rimed up Fiacaill Ridge. Poor visibility in the afternoon along the plateau and a descent in the gloom and darkness after a sparkling clear morning. Very cold day with a brisk wind. Fab day out, well done guys.
