| Fantastic rime ice |
There had been more snowfall overnight down to around 500m. With a decent weather forecast of cold, dry, light winds and even some sunshine I headed up to Carn Mor Dearg for some photo opportunities. Around mid day the sun and blue skies were flirting with Ben Nevis but that only lasted less than 5 minutes. The rest of the day was in cloud. To compensate the conditions along the CMD Arete were fantastic. Lots of beautiful rime ice and good solid snow with just a little fresh stuff. I saw no one all day and no one had been along the arete so a very nice time, just no blue skies. By the time I descended I too had a good coating of rime ice. Great stuff.
