Winter Mountaineering is by far my favourite time on the mountains.

Recently (2023) completed my Winter Mountain Leader Training at Glenmore Lodge and in y consolidation period to gain the experience I need to progress towards my assessment.

Over the years I have participated in Winter Courses through PYB, Chris Ensoll and International Guiding Companies. PyB was with Dave Evans where we trained for 2 days on the side of Moel Siabod. The course content covered self-arrest, anchors, belays, cutting edges with boots and axe, use of touring axe, avalanche warning and where to find info - a well rounded course syllabus.
