It was a bit of a shock today after the many days of cold clear weather to have to get the goggles out of the rucksack! This was Luke & James's final day of their winter mountaineering course and we wanted to look at snow anchors and snow belays. With forecast gusts of 90mph over the summits we stayed low and headed to Aonach Mor where the boys alternately lead grade 1 ground in some challenging conditions. This gave them a chance to put everything together from the last few days and add to their skill base. New skills included teeth gritting, extreme arm waving and extreme digging - as quickly as we dug a bucket seat the wind blown snow filled it in again!
