Focus Mountaineering

Today I spent  an excellent day with Caroline and Kate looking at the core winter mountaineering skills of using snow anchors to move safely and securely on steep exposed slopes.  A rise in temperatures overnight has caused a lot of moisture to form in the snow pack but we didn’t observe much instability. The freezing level is forecast to drop again over the next few days which will set the snow pack nicely. I was working for Glenmore Lodge today.
