Winter Skills Day 2

Chaired up Glencoe Mountain Resort then slogged on and off-piste to follow a rock rib up Meall a' Bhùiridh; tricky at times with powder on ice and ice on rock but we held off putting crampons on till the summit.

A daft suggestion to lunch before the top in a sheltered drift was rejected in favour of pushing on hungry and weak.

The continuation across the col and up onto Creise was considered but that aspect was loaded and, given the group size/experience and visibility, discretion won over valour.

Again a dignified descent from the mountain with air-unstyle and face-plant demonstrations on the new Team asset. Since we were quorate we passed a motion; to house Five Oh in the new garage.

The Bullet successfully bluffed past the Lifty and mounted the T bar. Then ensued a distance comp and a boys v girls pile-on comp.

Chair down, café hot chocs then home. Thanks all for a great team-building weekend, the kitchen crew for breakfasts/lunches and Jenny for accom, planning and leading. Till next year.
