How often do you see the Scottish mountains
like this in January? We spent the weekend in the Cairngorms
looking at the full range of winter walking techniques. We
also spent some time on navigation but it's that bit harder to
simulate proper winter conditions when you can almost see to
the west coast. On the Saturday we covered ice axe and crampon
technique before venturing up onto the plateau to put it all
into practice. On the Sunday we used a straightforward gully
to get to the plateau before bagging the summit of Cairn Gorm,
Britain's second highest mountain, and descending via Coire
Cais. |
