A PERFECT WINTER'S DAY

Stunning morning in Coire an t-Sneachda

Lovely conditions on the Fiacaill

Quiet

Bags of blue skies above 

Ian going for the harder moves!

Fabulous traverse

A bit busier on the buttress

Plenty of climbers out today

Good snow cover for touring

If you like your mountains with good snow cover, no wind, blue skies and lovely sunshine then The Cairngorms was the place to be today. In just a couple of days of light snowfall the Northern Corries have been transformed. The plateau now has excellent snow cover, good enough for ski touring judging by the amount of skiers out today. Indeed it was very busy for a Monday on the hills. Coire an t-Sneachda was crawling with folk and there seemed to be a queue on one of the routes on the Fiacall Buttress, Belhaven? The Fiacall a Coire Sneachda though was much quieter and great fun as always. Not a breath of wind all day and an absolute stunner of a day to be out and about.
