West Coast winter courses

My winter courses have moved over to the West coast for this week - and we have been lucky enough to enjoy some good weather and conditions despite the recent thaws - with plenty of good snow and ice on Ben Nevis and high up in Glencoe . A great introduction to winter  climbing in these beautiful mountains - with ascents of some of the classics, including Dorsal Arete in Stob Coire nan Lochan and the formidable Tower Ridge on Ben Nevis - which  thankfully, was in a very friendly mood on Monday.
