11th February 2012 - Stob Ban

Today Anna was keen to take Aoife up Stob Ban, one of our  favousite hills in the Mamores. Although the weather forecast was a bit grim its a lovely walk, and quite short so its not overly taxing. This gave Anna a good opportunity to do some winter coaching on equipment and techniques while I strolled ahead. The East ridge was fairly uniform, the snow was wet and slippy but stable and the summit provided us with some excellent views yet again. We decided to carry on along to Mullach nan Coirean, making it a nice little circuit and enjoying the extremely warm winter weather, and changeable views as we went. From the second summit we descended towards Glen Nevis, but as always the boggy ground was awful and for the second day I had soaking feet! Anna did well conveying different techniques to Aoife and Aoife did well to put the techniques into practice, although they were unnecessary given the conditions. Another great day on the hills.
