Backcountry course finishes with great weather

March’s Backcountry course finished on Saturday the 7th of March with great weather. The week had certainly been challenging in terms of visibility so it was a very welcome finish to the week. Friday was spent at Grands Montets with instructor Derek Tate. While the visibility was poor this proved an invaluable day with some skinning, companion rescue practice and further development of technical and tactical skills. This prepared the group really well for the final day’s touring with mountain guide Robbie Fenlon. Our next course is taking place 6-11 April so look out for our blog reports.
