Dry Rock

Monday, 20 April 2009

Hi Alan,
We had a wonderful week last week based in Arisaig. Haven't seen it so sunny and warm in Scotland at any time of year for a while now. I got out on Solitaire on Aonach Mor with my eldest(16)on Sunday 12th. Like you said the approach was on grass and there was no snow/ice on the route anywhere. So we had a good easier grade rock climb with a good few grassy passages also. We were rewarded with a big snow drift on the plateau at the top of the route and a snow shower just to remind us winter hadn't quite gone.
Wednesday climbed The Gutter on Polldubh slabs which was fun and then on Thursday went up Ben Nevis on the tourist track with the crowds. Plenty of snow on the top and some good cornices to see and a singing Snow Bunting at the summit shelter.
Found a Garmin GPS on the approach to Solitaire on 12th. Do you now of anyone reporting having lost one on your blog? It's very wet and not sure it will ever work again but I'm willing to re-unite it with its owner if they can be traced. So that's all for another winter. Thanks for the advice and the brilliant blog, keep it going. Will be looking at it over the summer and then back for the daily look again next winter season.
Cheers,
Jon.

Thanks Jon. Now the rock climbing is good and dry.
