Wee bit stormy and damp

Thursday, March 20, 2008

Hi Alan,
Myself and climbing partner Wojtek completed a night traverse of the Aonach Eagach Ridge Tuesday/Wednesday ( 18th/19th ) under a beautiful full moon and star filled night. Started from the devils staircase all the way through to the Pap, very long tough night. Lots of snow about, however on the steep ascent and descents the rock very bare so dry tooling almost!! Great night and all because of the great W.H.Murray.
Cheers,

Well done guys and thanks for the photos. A really good trip and great memories.

Alan,
Visited the Northern Corries yesterday and headed up to the Lochain. Massive amounts of unconsolidated snow in the corrie with perilous cornices hanging over most of the gully lines. Quite a few of them curling round to form caves or tubes like a Hawaiian surfers dream. Climbed Ewan Buttress a short but very pleasant route climbable in most conditions. The photos I've attached show Nick Bryan on the crux second pitch, exiting the final chimney and topping out..

Today (20th March) has been stormy and a little damp. However, the front has now moved through and is sucking in a N.W. airflow. This will in turn be showery and cold and wintry, so improving the snow pack hopefully. Sunday & Monday look to be the calmer days at the moment with winds going even closer to the north.
