....well that's what my car said anyway. It was pretty warm though.
Adventure Peaks clients Ian and Steve are preparing for a Mt Blanc ascent this summer so we went into Coire nan Lochan to find snow and some introductory exposure. We made a circuit of the N.E. and N.W. ridges working our way over soft wet snow, (firmer in the shade), and dry warm rock. There is still a lot of snow in the corries and gullies of the Coe, the buttresses are mostly bare and dry; in fact rock climbing would be possible on some of the routes on the East face of Aonach Mor.
Climbers were on Dorsal arete which looked alpine today and a few other walkers were about but other than that pretty quiet.
I think rock climbing at Ardnamurchan or Polldubh would be a very good prospect in this weather.
