Route One - Carn Dearg Buttress
Thanks to James Thacker for the photo of Route One on Ben Nevis, Carn Dearg Buttress last week. He says they found it ..."rather uphill"... Today we have some drier weather, but still showery. Snow above 600 metres last night. Next week I still have spaces in the CIC Hut so get in touch again if you are still interested. Either a course or self-led programme.
From the weekend it appears as though the temperature will drop like a stone, with winds from Arctic regions slicing down across Scotland. So if the weather charts are to be trusted, we are in for some more good sport from Friday or Saturday.

Teams coming back today reported very bad sluffs/avalanches in a variety of locations. Some brave (?) souls climbed Two-Step Corner. Dorsal Arete had snow near the top and some wicked hail-showers.
