Fine Weather

Thursday, 23 April 2009


Ben Nevis yesterday.


A fine spell of good weather with the odd showery day. The high peaks still have significant snow packs, especially in the sheltered spots on north faces. Most of the ice routes are pretty rotten on Ben Nevis, but any cold weather with frosts will bring them back quickly. The big easy snow gullies will provide plenty of opportunities for a quiet ascent to the plateau for a few week to come. Be careful of falling rocks and cornices though.
However, it is definitely heading into rock climbing weather.

Thanks to all of those good people who have sent in various reports and stories over the winter. Feel free to let us all know what you are up to in the months to come. Anywhere in the world will do:)
