A CALM DAY IN THE CAIRNGORMS

 

Mary, Angela & Chris enjoying fabulous snow conditions 

Tuesday 7th February. 

Angela, Chris & Mary out on one of Tarmachan Mountaineering's winter courses today. 

Firm snow, great for cramponing techniques 

We built on their previous winter experience and covered lots of axe and crampon technique. Finished off with some axe arresting and a bit of step cutting. 

Good fun here

Nice to get a calm, benign day for a change,  inbetween bouts of gales. We even had some sun.
