https://scottkirkhope.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html

Monday, 23 February 2015. Some winter skills and a team ascent. After returning from the Cairngorms I spent two days with Nicolas, who has some big ambitions and goals for the future. He has never really been on snow before so we spent our two days covering the basics and trying to give him the skills to help him summit Jebel Toubkal in a couple of weeks before he moves onto some higher peaks later in the year. Good luck to him! Tuesday, 17 February 2015. A few days over east. Thursday, 12 February 2015.
