Yesterday on Beinn a'Chaorainn

Stob Ban today from Glen Nevis

The wintry weather is still pumping in snow on the west to north-westerly airflow. Avalanches will be a problem, but lots to do on ridges and buttresses. Trail-blazing in the deep snow will be difficult at times. However, it's all looking good at the moment and when (?) it clears up the climbing should be good. Take care with your choice of route and approach to climbs.

Lots of avalanche activity reported today, so route choice is key to success and survival at the moment,

Stob Ban above Glen Nevis taking the full brunt of the blustery, wintry winds which are streaming across Scotland at the moment.

Teams coming back from over East yesterday reported plenty of snow and fine weather.
