Allison is on an Adventure Peaks course for three days in general preparation for an Everest attempt next year. Experienced in basic winter mountain craft she wanted to start learning the techniques of winter climbing. Winter feels like it's fading fast but routes like Dorsal Arete in Glencoe have a real alpine feel to them; with hard snowy ramps that are icy in places and dry, bare rock. A handy place to start getting to grips with climbing rope work.
The route is well worth a bash at the moment but carefully does it as after the cold winter there's a lot of loose rock around.
