Description

Guiding and coaching Rosemary being mentored by Andy Spink on her 2nd day. Also joined by Susan Guest. Further development of movement skills coaching on steep ground with and without a rope. Pitched through some of the steps looking at constructing belays and placing rock anchors.
Very strong winds on top. Descent via North Ridge. Wet day.

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).
