Ice warrior training - early bath!

Unfortunately I have had to leave the training early to solve a problem back at work!

Very disappointed to have to leave course director Howard Jeffs and trainer Emma but needs must. It was good to get three days with the team and I wish them well in completing the course in their preparation for the expedition next year.

I managed to get in a full day on Moel Siabod on Sunday and climbed it twice in the day! First time was the 'tourist' route from Plas y Brenin but then I tool the NE ridge down to the old mine workings before cutting across the back of the corrie and straight up the corrie wall on some very interesting and challenging scree to the top again. A full 7hrs on the hill with 12.5 miles and 1200 m of ascent. A good day!

Worked with the team on rope skills and navigation training for the rest of the weekend.

Now planning a course in December for a business group.....

I really should do more of this!
