There was another brief thaw/freeze cycle which has continued the very icy and stable conditions. There was little new snow, perhaps a touch around the highest summits.
Todays showers fell mostly as graupel.
Although we have some deep snow left, the general cover is patchy. Looking to Cairn O Claise (1064 metres).
There is plenty of ice underfoot due to a number of recent thaw-freeze cycles . Crampons are very useful when ascending/descending steep ground.
