Great conditions on Dorsal Arete, Stob Coire nan Lochan

Today was day 3 of Linton and Chris' Introduction to Winter Climbing course and we headed to Glencoe to tackle Dorsal Arete. Linton led the first three pitches before I took over to lead the guys over the fin and to the top.

Conditions were better than expected, with plenty of useful snow and turf. The higher crags were also well rimed. All things considered, it was quite wintry up there.

Quite a busy day on Dorsal Arete, with one team ahead and a number behind. The only other team were on Twisting Grooves.
