Still good amounts of snow above 900 metres, most of it is hard and icy but new windslab is starting to build again.

A bright start with cloud around the summits. Culardoch (900m) in the distance with the wooded Ripe Hill foreground.

The last sheltered part of the West Ridge. The plateau wasn’t a nice place to be today. Dog was happy to be heading down!

Hey
Just a heads up for your info/logs. It was myself and two friends climbing in the coire yesterday. As darkness fell, so did all the avalanches. We witness 5 sizeable releases and two big sized sluffs as we finished our route. Mainly down the gully lines. 3 of these were substantial in size, sound and debris.
I hope this info is of some use.
Cheers
Greg

Thanks Greg, I was on West Ridge/summit. I could hear some hollering, I suspect when you’d cracked the roof but couldn’t see you. Well done, an awesome line. Paul
