The last day of this wonderful spell of weather and what a way to finish. Virtually clear skies for most of the day and exceptional clarity of light. I had a leisurely start, not arriving at the North Face car park till after 10am. Surprisingly only 4 cars and none at the top car park. I saw no one all day on the hill. I headed up into the Ciste Corrie and what a place to be on a day like this in mid April. The sun hits part of the corrie and crags at this time of year and there was quite a bit of ice/rock creaking and rolling. This noise, the distant water in the Allt a' Mhuillin and the odd breeze were the only sounds I heard. A place to linger and savour with warm sun on my face. Still can't believe no one was up there today? To round the day off nicely I just got back to the bike at the car park as the sun disappeared as the cloud rolled in from the west, what perfect timing. Looking very wild and snowy next week.
