Lots of Snow

Friday, January 4, 2008

Plenty of new snow falling as the mild Atlantic air hits the High Pressure based over Russia. All good for the future really, so long as the weather does not turn tropical for too long. One team out today on the East Ridge of Beinn a' Chaorainn had a robust experience and came back to tell the tale!

Thanks to Andy Ravenhil of Alba Mountaineering for the picture above.

Alan,

Good day out on Aonach Mor, even with the roads being blocked and the chairlift not running, thus a long walk in! Did Left Twin, which was thin but good at III,4. Plenty of ice all along the crag, and cornices still manageable. Only a few other teams out.

Thanks for the report and photo Duncan, Alan.
