The last few days Dave has been out introducing Tom, Suzie and Neil to the delights of Scottish Winter Mountaineering and the Ice Factor. We visited Stob Corrie nan Lochan and descended broad gully, covered more than a normal mountaineering course at the Ice Factor during the worst of the weather and on our last day we braved the conditions and headed to the East Ridge of Beinn A’Chaorainn.
We didn’t complete the ridge possibly due to Dave’s lack of confidence in the snow rubbing off on the gang but also the image of many people on the ridge in poor weather reminded them of the queue up Everest last year, it was not the place or the weather to be held up yesterday.
