Description

Guiding and coaching Rosemary being mentored by Andy Spink. Andy ooccasionally joined the rope through some of the tougher sections. Mixture of short roping and pitching throughout. Looked at footwork and axe placement skills. Very poor visibility on top and strong wiinds. Descent via Coire na Tulloch. Lots of coaching on footwork on the descent!

Area : Glen Coe, Ardgour and Loch Etive to Appin (winter)

Glen Coe gives a wealth of winter climbing opportunities of all grades and styles, something indeed for everyone. The cliffs are also, in the main, easily accessible which means they can become very popular. This area also includes the winter climbs on the mountains south of Glen Coe in Glen Etive, and on hills more southerly still but north of the A85 Oban road (notably Ben Cruachan). Also included are the hills of Appin and Ballachuilish, the dry tooling of Ballachuilish bridge, and the winter climbs in Ardgour (notably Garbh Bheinn).
