Glen Coe and fresh snow!

-

We took a risk that the conditions in Glen Coe would be OK but even though we had light winds and blue sky's we, unfortunately, were confronted with deep fresh snow with no base.
The walk up to Stob Coire nan Lochan was very pleasant as we approached the main crag we discovered that the snow was unconsolidated and was really hard going through the bolder field to the base of the crag. We were looking at SC Gully but decided that NC Gully would be better but by the time we got to the bottom of the route the snow conditions were worse than ever so we turned back.

The HM was on site during a photo shoot and was trying out various activities. I also had the pleasure of assessing a distant relative of Sir George Everest today and I'm glad to say he passed his abseiling with flying colours, as did everyone else. 😊✔
