The Shortest day
22nd December 2015
Today was a mixed bag. The wind on Cairnwell was just over 100mph last night and with heavy rain it cleared most of the snow away. However heavy snow showers passed through leaving a dusting in any sheltered area. Snow is currently restricted to corrie rims but more is forecast on Wednesday.
Looking away from Lochnagar towards Gelder Shiel. What winter?
The summit. Dusting of snow in sheltered areas.
Stuic Buttress. typical of the area, snow has some depth at the rim of the corrie’s.

Looking to the main crag.
After a walk around the rim of the Corrie, I dug a pit at the top of The Black Spout.
