Back to the Cuillin again, this time to run a training session for some members of Hereford Mountain Club, which had taken advantage of the financial support available from the BMC in order to train members.
Mondays weather was absolutely glorious with high temperatures and clear skies, so I enjoyed a quick blast up to Sgurr Dearg. Today however was pretty murky and damp so we stayed low and maximised our time by using the outcrops in Coire na Banachdich to examine and review rope technique for scrambling and easier climbing. The group were keen to learn about selection and use of anchors so we spent time looking at the very simple to the more esoteric. Keeping things simple in scrambling however is a good thing in order to keep the flow going - important in the Cuillins! We spent a long day out and were a wet crew who returned to Glenbrittle in the evening.
P.S. the midges are now making up for lost time.
