Ski Touring on Stob Ghabhar today.
Today I was working with Richard on his third and final day of a 'winter mountaineering skills for ski touring' course. We headed up onto the Black Mount and skinned up onto the fine SE ridge of the majestic Stob Ghabhar.
Once reached the snow cover was excellent and safe. However on the lee slopes [N through to SW] there was allot of fresh new snow and slab in evidence. Deep accumulations are to be found in the gullies and a wind crust of about 7 inches is forming on the harder wind scoured bases on the windward side!
