After the mini intense thaw yesterday it was back to cold and snowy conditions today. Surprisingly there had been quite a bit of fresh snow overnight, down to 500m with a few cm's higher on the mountain. I headed up to No.4 Gully on The Ben today, the first time this year. There were lots of folk all over the north face today so I thought I had the place to myself when I started up the gully. There was some soft wind slab in places but higher up beyond the narrows it was all windblown. I was just enjoying the peace and enjoying breaking trail when 5 folk abseiled down into the gully. There is no cornice problem's (today) but there was a steady fall of snow for a couple of hours.
