Today was the first day of a winter mountaineering course I am running on the East for WCMG. The weather has been a bit full on today, and Ben and Chris have coped well with the wild conditions that are not really conducive to easy learning. That said, we managed to cover a massive amount. After a refresher of some footwork skills in the morning, we got stuck into some snow anchors in the afternoon.

Anyone paying for a facial in some fancy salon should just come and spend a day out up here when the wind is blowing. I think I have lost at least 2 layers of old skin today. The conditions for climbing looked bleak, with black crags and lean gullies.
