It has been another snowy and stormy day here on the westcoast of Scotland. Last night resulted in more fresh snow down to low levels, many of the higher crags being very white. (Carn Dearg pictured).Mark, Richard and myself headed up to Ben Nevis' Carn Dearg Buttress to attempt 'Ledge Route' II. Unfortunately, the wild conditions and unstable snowpack resulted in a hasty retreat and some ropework practice in Glen Nevis.
More wintery weather is expected tomorrow, and the major mixed routes should be in good condition should the wind speed drop. Care will still be required getting to and from your desired objective: pick carefully..
