Winter work with Mountain Equipment
An annual early season fixture for PYB is some events with http://www.mountain-equipment.co.uk/home.asp (PYB clothing sponsors) and Cotswolds shop staff. We take folk out for 2 x 3day courses in hillwalking,mountaineering or winter climbing. To say everyone is well kitted out is an understatement!
The weather has been ideal in a perverse kind of way…..wintry and very windy…so everyone felt well tested and with some good adventures. I took some folk climbing for 3 days on the Ben,Buachaille and at Bridge of Orchy, then after a day off work climbing on the Ben with Keith, I got involved with some windy mountaineering in Glencoe for a couple of days then finished with a wild trip up Ledge Route, Ben Nevis.Fittingly, on one of the evenings I showed some pictures and movie of climbing Fitzroy, Patagonia!!
Top of West Buttress, Ben Doithaidh. Very windy!
