It's Christmas so Santa and Chilly climb Cairngorm

Merry Christmas... Cold and sunny with a cold SW breeze. Loch Morlich is still well frozen with the snow and ice bone hard in the Cairngorm gullies. There was evidence of old avalanche debris and rockfall at the foot of the Trident gullies. In contrast to the calm conditions last week there was a surprising amount of spindrift funneling down the gullies at times onto Fi and Chilly, Santa and I managed to avoid it ! A number of the easy gullies are still in good but thin condition such as Jacob's Ladder, Aladdin's Couloir and Central Gully. I'm having problems with the PC and with Winternet Scotland but will continue to post reports on this blog
