Stob coire Nam Beith




Kat and I decided to go up into SCN Beith today and find some ice to play on for a short outing.
It felt much warmer and the west face of Aonach Dubh showed signs of depletion. The Screen is still complete, Elliots' Downfall hanging in there, but Number 6 has big holes in it! I'm sure it'll be back soon.
Inside the coire we had a look at the cascades on the Green Slab area which gave us a couple of good pitches of grade III / IV if you follow the steeper bits. The ice was great, nice and chewey and we abseiled from ice screw threads at the top, our 50m ropes getting us just down to the bottom.
