First day with a group on winter concentration on the back of a rising temperature and poor forecast walked in to the ski tow ivo Grid 185745. There was a large amount of old ice which allowed demonstration and refreshing of cramponing skills before moving onto two large snow areas, one was old consolidated snow suitable for step cutting, the other had some fresh snow remaining where ice axe arrest could be revised. The day was finished of with tranciever revision.
All students are working towards a ML winter assessment this winter and want a revision of the hard skills this week.
