Stob Coire nan Lochan

Thursday, 31 December 2009

Hi Alan

Update on Stob Corrie nan Lochan on Wednesday- wind depositing large amounts of snow on lee slopes and very thick soft snow in these areas. Broad Gully looks as if it should be well avoided as do slopes below same and Forked Gully.

We 'swam' up to Twisting Gully and climbed a couple of pitches but didn't fancy the snow fan exit slopes so ab'ed off for a well earned chippy in Tyndrum. A hard day with strong winds and plenty of spindrift. SC Gully looked rather thin! Pic taken looking down first pitch.

Cheers
Craig



Thanks for that and the good looking photo.

Hi Craig/Alan

We were up on Stob Coire nan Lochan today too. Round the ridges which was great and nice to be walking on scoured ridges. Your right about Broad Gully - though it looked like quite a few folk had been up it recently and we even spotted someone starting up it around 2pm, mmmm.
