Easy Gully
10th January 2024
After a couple of lovely sunny days, it was a cloudy day on Creag Meagaidh today. The cloud was thin, and at time the sun could be seen through the cloud. I followed a team up Easy Gully. As well as getting up high to see what is in the top of the gullies, it also gave me a chance to see how the ice is forming on the Post Face. There is a reasonable amount of ice there, but it looked and sounded quite hollow with water audibly running down the back. However, some ice is better than no ice, and a few more storm cycles should improve things.

The initial icefall of South Post didn’t look too appealing. There was ice there, but there was also quite a lot of running water behind the ice.

The initial icefall of Last Post was looking a bit more substantial. However, there was still the sound of water running down behind the ice.
