Today I visited Stob Coire Nan Lochain in Glencoe with my team of trainee Winter Climbing Instructors. We spent the day climbing Wandering Wombat looking at guiding skills such as short roping, parallel roping and the use of a magic plate. The buttress routes were in good condition. Teams were out on a number of routes including Tilt and Central Grooves.
Yesterday we attempted to climb on Cam Chreag in the Ben Lawers area. We did not manage to get to the crag as there is so much snow in this area. Teams attempting hills in this area would be advised to have skis, snowshoes or a good headtorch and a lot of time.
