Back to Lochnagar’s Black Spout today as this area has been fairly popular recently.

Two climbers passing under the Tough-Brown Face. There is little snow left on the buttresses now. Debris from a recent cornice collapse was noted in the corrie.

The narrows on Right-Hand. Wide enough to fit on ski’s and quite icy as it’s been skied a few times recently. Couple rocks starting to break through.

Most easy gullies are complete but routes such as Raeburns and Parallel A are breaking. Braemar Mountain Rescue Team member Derek (and Scout the dog) bottom right.
