| A bit easier going |
A huge amount of snow in the Cairngorms. Jenny and her group of 5 pals on a Winter 2 day course with me starting today. The road up Glen More looking bonny this morning with plenty of Christmas like trees.
We discussed route choices with a few options based on the avalanche forecast. It was clear from the start that it was going to be a day of wading through deep snow wherever you ventured. Thankfully there was a steady stream of hopeful climbers heading into Sneachda so this was welcome for a while. We found some steeper terrain to run through boot and axe techniques, which turned out to be more swimming in snow up hill.

A fun day with a keen group who were not afraid of breaking trail.

| Poor visibility all day |
Poor visibility all day above 600m.
If you're heading off to do a big route over a few Munros tomorrow you may want to have a rethink on that 😉.
