Piles of Powder

Thanks to Stephen Gregory for these shots taken today on the Stob Ban - Sgurr a'Mhaim horseshoe. Plenty of snow to plough through. No let up in the cold weather.

Winter sky at sundown.

Some folk up on the CMD Arete today told of strong winds and meeting teams who had backed off of Nevis approaches to routes due to the amount of bottomless snow.

Teams back from Glen Orchy reported good ice on Beinn Udlaidh. Certainly the lower icefalls seem to be the best bet at the moment. Has anyone been up to Steall Waterfall recently?
