Still Cloudless and FrostyTuesday, 12 February 2008
Same as yesterday really. I have a couple of French Guides staying with me and they are keen to go east. Any ideas on Meagaidh and Cairngorms and Lochnagar conditions?? posted by Westcoast Mountainguides @ 11:58

Alan,
I went out to Creag an Dubh Loch on Sunday to see if Central Gully had anything... very mild and wet with very little snow. It was more like mid May, not mid Feb.
I'm guessing Lochnagar just to the north would have been very similar?

Thanks Neil
What will NE Butress be like under the current conditions? Any ascents happening??
Cheers JHB
North East Buttress will be in very mixed 'nick' I would think, making it a hard option, but still possible. If anyone else has closer experience of the route over the last week please let us know.

Alan,
do you know if the Castle gullies on The Ben are do-able?
Cheers
Pete
Interestingly enough I had a call from a fellow instructor who had climbed North Castle Gully yesterday. He said the gully was okay. HOWEVER they dislodged a very large rock which is now lying on the surface and in danger of possibly sliding down the route. Some care is therefore in order at the moment. Not sure if South Castle Gully is in condition though.
