Lakes Conditions & Winter Skills Day

Great conditions on the hill today.

The néve is well consolidated and the gullies have plenty in them, there is still ice around up higher.

There where several teams out behind Red Tarn climbing and chatting to them the routes seamed perfect.

Viking Buttress had a team on and there was even a snow hole occupied by a hound!

Today was the first time Alan and Loraine had used crampons and axes, by the end of the day they had plenty to think about and practice. Next time we will be in Scotland with them…
