Camera Handy…..!?
13th February 2017
A frustrating day for the camera; cloudy for much of the time, in the morning, clearing only with my descent off the hill……. seemed like every time I reached for the camera the clouds rolled in!.
(Above) Coire Ardair – Btm of Easy gully (central in photo) Â raking left, in front of the Post Face and behind the bulk of Pinnacle Buttress
(Above) Btn of Raeburn’s Gully (left of photo)
Neither of these two classic Grade 1 gullies holding snow of any quantity in the current conditions
(Above) The skyline between Sron a Coire and  Puist Coire Ardair – making an appearance at last!
Cover is very variable at present – small pockets of slab overlie a softer layer, this above seen on mainly NW aspects
(Above) Descending and looking East towards Loch Laggan – the marked snowline at around 500m, just below the col of Na Cnapanan (623) the outrigger to the South of the munroe, Cairn Liath (1006m).
