Looking towards Stob Coire Sgreamhach, Glen Coe today. Thin but solid cover and the old snow was re-freezing quickly in the cold conditions.

View towards Stob Coire nan Lochan.

Diamond Buttress, Central Gully and Church Door Buttress on Bidean nam Bian.

View across Lost Valley Buttresses. There is more snow on them than is obvious from below.

The view down Central Gully on Bidean. Certainly in good grade I/II shape today. Thanks to Tom Parkin for these photos.

News in from Ben Nevis today was good on Number Three Gully Buttress. One team backed off of Point Five Gully in the face of incessant spindrift.
