Here is Graham from last weeks Winter Intro course topping out on the Couloir en ‘S’ variant on the Cosmiques Arete. The weather during the week was perfect for mountaineering, becoming progressively colder, and so bringing in the ice routes into condition again. During the week the group learnt about avalanche awareness, ice climbing, and Alpine mountaineering skills.
