So proud the Climbing Clan Winter Skills practice group in Corrie an t’Sneacha in January:
¯ Fearless Ice Axe Arrest practice
Classy Crampon walking practice
© Confidence in winter skills
Followed by Kirsty’s fantastic food this evening!
As my mum said (and she may be biased!): “An pretty intensive (!), but superb weekend at Aviemore !
I learnt and did far more than I expected to do !
Tim and JP (John Proctor) were a great team, teaching and sympathetically encouraging us into the various skills – ice axe usage and crampons (they make a slippery icy surface feel so much more safe), weather watching and snow, ice and brutal winds.
If they ever offer this again, go for it !
It’s worth the effort. I not competent to go there on my own, yet. But I do now have the confidence in myself, to know that with sympathetic leaders, I can do and enjoy those challenges. And so can any of you !”
