Wintry skills in Coire na Ciste

Today I went in to Coire na Ciste with Stuart Johnston's Tiso Inverness winter skills group. We were lucky to be sheltered from the wind though we could see the spindrift blowing around us in between the snow showers.

We practised skills using our boots, axes and crampons and had lots of chat about the weather, snow and so much more.

To finish off the day, we walked up on to the ridge to have a look over to Coire Cas and to experience how windy it was outwith the shelter of the corrie then down to have a look at some old emergency shelters on the way back to the car park.
