The second day out with Fraser, Andy, Paul and Sam. We went to Gearr Aonach to polish up some moving together, lead climbing rope work as well as protected abseils and retreat tactics.
Several other teams all had the same idea which was not surprising given a large snowfall over night and an avalanche forecast predicting a High risk.
Lower down the snow is soft and a little damp, and although pretty discontinuous may well have formed wind slab higher up. With conditions like these ridges and/or a tactical approach are a good bet.
