Prolonged winter conditions experienced so far this year have been rare in recent years, however the message is the same as always.

Be prepared. Experience, appropriate equipment, and sound judgement are crucial. Ice axe, crampons, warm clothing and reliable torches are vital in current conditions.

Remember as well, soft snow is exhausting to walk in, frozen snow is very slippery.
