A good bright but breezy day

Richard and I had a pleasnt day sheltered from the SW wind looking at cramponning on steep mixed ground and alpine ropework before lunch on Fiacaill Ridge.
We then had a quick hike over to look at the big crevasses in Coire an Lochain before heading back down to a sunny springlike Aviemore.
The snow had firmed up nicely with climbers in Jacob's Ladder, Aladdin's Couloir, Aladdin's Mirror, Central Gully, The Runnel and Crotched Gully...
Fi's off snowholing with Winchester College report later on her blog...
