David Cu is the first reserve

Neil D and Nathan R have arranged their own accommodation.

Some members are heading up a day earlier and have arranged their own accommodation for Thursday night.

For those new to winter mountaineering it may be worth getting together to consider a two day skills course. The link here https://www.cairngormadventureguides.co.uk/winter-courses/winter-skills-2-days takes you to Cairngorm Adventure Guides website who offer a two day winter skills course including ice axe and crampon hire and is based out of Aviemore Hostel where we are staying. At the moment there is availability for a course on the 16th/17th and club members can receive a discounted rate. Message me directly if you’re interested and I’ll group you together.

Cheers!

The current list of who’s going and reserves for the first winter weekend at the moment is as follows:

Dave M
Derek W
Dave Ca
Matthew D
Brian Y
Gav H
Ed H
Oli T
Ellie B
Ewart P
Andrew E

The Glencoe Hostel is just a short distance up the road so any extras may be able to book their own accommodation if no spaces in the hut come up for grabs.

Attached are my thoughts about what equipment and personal gear is required for the winter weekend. Giles kindly produced a kit list in 2022 and this is a development for this coming season. Please talk to more experienced members about what equipment they have and how they have evolved their personal preference for their gear.

Some suitable gear may already be in your posession or you may intend to buy more. It is also likely that you are able to borrow gear. If necessary you can hire equipment from various outlets. Two of which are shown at the bottom of the kit list.
