WINDIER, CLOUDIER, WHITE

Starting up Alladin's Couloir
Climbers heading up to Patey's Route, Alladin's Mirror to the right
Plenty of snow being blown down by the Fiacaill Buttress
The Goat Track still well banked with snow
Not much sunshine today, despite an early start for blue skies and to beat the winds forecasted later in the day. It did brighten up by mid day but the winds were quite strong and a lot of snow being blown down into Coire an t-Sneachda. I was planning to head over into Loch Avon and climb Castlegates Gully but the winds around Alladin's Couloir didn't inspire me to continue any further! Looks like staying cool and even more snow forecast into next week.
