I’ve mostly been working at EICA Ratho this week, hence the lack of conditions reports. As well as work I’ve managed a couple of training sessions with Ivor including a wall session at Alien Rock and a gym session. We tried out his new bespoke Farmer’s Walk kit pictured below; it’s a fairly brutal exercise and great for grip strength. The kit is heavier than it looks and that’s without adding additional weights.

There’s more snow forecast for the Scottish hills over the next few days. It looks like fresh snow will settle down to around 600m in a number of areas and there are High and Considerable avalanche forecasts for some altitudes/aspects on the Scottish Avalanche Information Service (SAIS) website for tomorrow.
