A trip up The Black Spout.

5th February 2025

Stunning day. A touch of snow overnight but dry otherwise. Initially very strong winds but easing after lunch. We went into Lochnagar today, only 3 climbers that we saw, they were heading for Raeburns gully.

The Corrie.

 

West Buttress, has suffered in the sun.

 

Bit more on Eagle Ridge area.

 

Climbers heading for Raeburns Gully.

 

In Black Spout.

 

Good underfoot conditions.

 

Very little build up on the crags.

 

The narrows.

 

Exiting the gully. Shallow pockets of windslab around here.

    Myself and my climbing partner met you at the top of Black Spout. Was great to meet you, thanks for the work that you do.
