Found my axe! Which I'm very happy about as in the past I've bought a car for less than a climbing axe costs now.
Kat and I cramponed up a still very firm Red Burn today retracing my steps from last night. Some snow had blown in during the night filling in tracks but we found the axe anyway at about 1100 metres.
We then realised that despite climbing on the Ben before she'd never been on the summit in winter, so as it was a beautiful day we decided to rectify that.
On the way down we encountered a very relaxed looking group of red deer hinds between the half way lochan and windy corner right next to the path, somewhere that I've never seen them congregate before.
