Intro to Snow & Ice Course – April 1’6

Course: Snow and Ice Climbing – Introduction Course
Leader: Kenny Lacey

I met Nasser in Saturday and we decided to go to the Ice Factor and then Onich Gorge in the Afternoon. I booked the ice and we got in first and this allowed us to gain access to the best space for coaching movement skills on snow and ice. After a drive up Glen Coe to check conditions we went to the gorge and Nasser practised abseiling and made a complete on sight no falls ascent of the M1 slab.

On Sunday we used the uplift on Aonach Mor and went to the west face where we did “gendarme ridge” a nice 1/2 but I took Nasser up a short techy 4 variation for a few metres.

A great few days with some valuable skills learned.
