Stunning winter Condition at the moment across the highlands!

What a wondering class way to start this weeks Guiding winter Climbing Course.

Last week I was out doing some mentoring with two WMCI trainees who have assessments coming up.

The focus for the day was mountaineering, predominantly looking at moving clients around snow slopes and protecting clients when accessing cliffs with large aprons, or descending back down gullies. Lots of learning, and importantly lots of laughs.

Good luck in the coming weeks, guys
