Description

Group on winter concentration went back onto Aonach Mor looking or winter conditions, navigated round under Aonach an Nid, found consolidated grade 1 snow slope to revise security on steep ground, rope work and snow anchors before navigating on to the summit of Aonach mor. Once on the ridge the weather cleared but winds got up - all in all a good day.

All students are working towards a ML winter assessment this winter and want a revision of the hard skills this week.
