Spring might be here, but the mountains haven’t got the memo. ❄️

A great few days at Caroline Hut last week, with proper winter conditions for our winter mountaineering course. Snow skills, crampons, ice axe techniques and plenty of time learning how to move confidently through the alpine environment.

Winter may be winding down down low, but there’s still plenty of it up high. 🏔️
