Forbes and I had a very wet day on Carn Mor Dearg today. Forbes was anticipating a nice Autum/Winter ascent of Ben Nevis via the CMD arete but the low cloud coupled with wetness wasn't very inspiring. At least the rain turned to snow above 1000m which indicated that winter was returning to the hills after the recent warm spell. There is still snow on the eastern slopes of CMD but we never had any decent views into the NF of The Ben to see how much snow has survived. Forbes decided he'd rather savour the arete for a better day. We saw not a soul from beginning to end.
