Cold - Dry - Blue Skies

Sunday, 30 December 2007

A very pleasant day today, with a hard overnight frost. A few teams out climbing on Aonach Mor appeared to be enjoying themselves in the mixed conditions. Yesterday one rope who ventured east reported good climbing on Invernookie Corner.

Teams back from Ben Nevis reported that congestion charges appeared in order on Number Two Gully! Also some hard looking climbing taking place around Number Three Gully Buttress area by the avalanche report department. No windslab in that location by all accounts! Evidence of climbers on Glover's Chimney going well. North Gully was in good shape.

Thanks to Andy Ravenhil of Alba Mountaineering for these two picture below
