Alpine conditions, in the Cairngorms..


The high pressure continues to give stable weather here in Scotland with plenty of sunshine and valley frosts.

I have been over in the Cairngorms today working with Andy and Simon. Plenty of good snow/ice remains in the major gully lines, and many parties have been out gully climbing and doing winter skills sessions.

We decided to visit Coire an t-Sneachda before climbing up to Fiacaill Ridge. This allowed us to take in plenty of varied terrain before making a sortie to Coire Domhain to check out the small snowhole village!

The weather looks set to continue for the time being, pack the sunglasses, and make the most of it..

  1. Three supperb days of climbing. Excellent weather, conditions and teaching. Many thanks from myself and Simon.

    Penny also said she'd really enjoyed Saturday and felt she'd really progressed. I just need to find some time to get out there again and put some of your teaching into practice.

    We'll probably see you again this time next year.

    Take it easy.
    Andy
