Stunning winter climbing conditions

A fantastic day and Adam's first Grade 2 winter climbing route on his Scottish winter mountaineering course was a stunner with near perfect snow and ice conditions.

Fiacaill Ridge

Sneachda

A bit windier and warmer than the forecast suggested though climbing condition in the gullies and snowy routes above 900 metres were excellent with sticky hero ice and Styrofoam neve - the buttresses were black though!
