Winter Mountaineering



Well done to Dom Marsh and Myles Everett who passed an arduous Winter mountaineering course over the half term break in Fort William Scotland. In deep snow and chilly temperatures they learnt about winter safety, equipment, navigation, ice axe skills and rope work. The course was run by professional instructors from the Snowgoose mountain centre and each day built on the previous day's training, culminating with the whole group taking part in a full quality winter mountain day. Myles and Dom are also able to use this trip and qualification towards gaining their Gold DofE award.
