Final winter day out...... I think.

Allison's last day out and we went back to Ben Nevis, which as one of the last venues in the west of Scotland with winter condition, gave us a venue to tighten up on some rope techniques and go over retreat tactics.
More point release avalanche debris is evident than was 24 hours ago, especially emanating from the No. 2 Gully area. Conditions under foot were much softer than yesterday after the lack of a freeze last night. Folk were up and down the easy gullies, Tower Ridge, a team in Green Gully whooped for joy on topping out, so I think that's still good.
Bit of snow forecast over the weekend but I think it'll only be cosmetic. looking at rain fall radar there doesn't seem to be much in the way of moisture out above the Atlantic.
