Blizzards and strong winds
Wednesday, January 30, 2008
Thanks to Andy Ravenhill of Alba Mountaineering again for for this collection below taken on Stob Ban in the Mamores yesterday, and Dorsal Arete today. Plenty of very characterful weather to increase the amount of unstable snow around. More gales and blizzards are heading our way over the next few days, so pack an extra 'jumper'.
Topping out on North Gully on Stob Ban (Mamores) yesterday.
Rugged progress on Dorsal Arete. A fine choice to avoid any avalanches which were being set off by some other groups in the area (?).
A good route for teaching simple winter climbing.
On the approach to Dorsal Arete try to avoid being beneath any of the larger gullies which did release today.
