Winter Mountain Leader Training 27 March - 02 April

A bit of Continued Professional Development for me this week. I'm up at Glenmore Lodge doing a ML Winter training course, something I should have done years ago. This winter season has been a long one, with plenty of snow early on but the temperature is rising and the snow is melting fast! Fortunately the snowpack is well-bonded and there's plenty of opportunity to practise ice axe arresting, cramponing techniques and snowholing! I even managed to get some bouldering/climbing in at Cummingston (up on the Moray Firth coast) before I headed back south. Now need to get up North more often to be ready for assessment.
