Description

Day 2 AQ Winter Skills.
Parked at Mullardoch Dam.
Wind gusting 70-80.
Headed up towards Glas Toll. Difficult just to make progress into the wind. Complete skin cover needed. Marginally less once heading away from Loch Mullardoch.
Reached the decision to turn around and use the afternoon for theory.
Taught on snow, avalanche hazard and avalanche rescue

Area : Glen Affric and Kintail

South of Loch Mullardoch you will find the Glen Affric and Kintail area whose southern boundary is the A87 road to Inverness. The Five Sisters of Kintail, Beinn Fhada, Sgurr nan Ceathreamhnan and Carn Eighe are just some of the impressive peaks in this area, and all have their own unique selling points such as remoteness, size, steepness or height. As a result, peaks in the list are all over 900m.
