West Coast Winter Mountaineering

I have just spent the last week on the west coast of Scotland on a winter mountaineering course with Glenmore Lodge.

There was not much snow around after the warm snap that we have had, but what we did have was brilliant! The first we days were taken up my scrambling and doing some 'classic' ridges. On thursday we went onto the north face of Ben Nevis where there was still lots of snow and ice. This was a very long day but one of the best days of my life. It felt so much like the alps! Here are a few pictures of my week, im counting down the days now until winter again and the snow again starts to fall!








Stay tuned as the Easter holiday adventures continue and I will be in North Wales for a week canyoning and paddling :).
