Aka practicing her ice axe arresting
We had a great day out practicing winter skills in the valley below the north face of Ben Nevis. Aka just loves the mountains in winter but had not used an ice axe or crampons before. So we practiced all the basic skills during the day. She soon got on top of it! He wanted to climb Ben Nevis during her visit. Not as easy as you would have thought considering the unstable weather conditions at the time! For more information click here
