Fi and I climbed Fluted Buttress Direct which looked to be full of hard neve. Unfortunately the snow was fairly soft. There was very little usable ice or hard snow so the climbing was quite mixed using tenuous hooks in the rock with the occasional reassuring (thank god!) patch of neve or frozen turf. Good fun though especially the RH groove variation before the crest...
This evening the southerly winds picked up and huge amount of snow were being transported from the southern slopes and redeposited in the Northern Corries. This will make the great skiing even better but will create some massive cornices above some of the climbs... Will upload some videos later tonight or tomorrow...
