ANOTHER ALPINE DAY






Fantastic conditions on the mountains today. Ian, Peter & I enjoyed a fabulous 'Alpine' like day again, a common phenomina this winter. We were on Stob Ghabhar which has a wonderful position looking out to Rannoch Moor. The Aonach Eagach ridge was well banked with fresh snow, indeed I have never seen so much snow on this, one of my favourite wee ridges. The classic grade 2 climb in the Couloir was looking great but a big cornice on the top. I also observed recent avalanche debris in the coire to the SE of the summit. The sun shone most of the day with beautiful light and we saw no one all day.

Looks like more wintery showers on the way and becoming cool again by the weekend. Winter is definately still here for a while yet.
