Stirling Bomber..

Kris Hill and I put our heads down into the wind this morning and walked into Coire an t-Sneachda.

A reduction in the freezing level and overnight snow had changed the corries appearance dramatically this morning, making for some good early season mixed climbing.

We decided to head to Stirling Bomber V,7 in an attempt to get a little bit of shelter from the wind.  This gave two really good pitches before abseiling to the ground.  The upper corner was actually covered in verglass requiring care with the gear.

Andy Nisbet also did Fingers Ridge IV,4, another party also climbed The Genie V,7.  Over in Coire an Lochain Matt Stygall and Keith Ball climber Fall Out Corner VI,7.  Mean while Tim Neill and Mark Walker make ascents of the Third Man V,6 and Overseer Direct V,6.
