A lovely afternoon for photography

Looking over to Coire an Lochain

There has been drifting snow yesterday in strong winds. This morning the SE winds were still strong but they slowly eased through the day. Cloud lifted this afternoon too and it was another lovely day to be out on the hills. Low temperatures so the snowpack is still unconsolidated in places, ridge routes the best options at the moment. The  Fiacaill Ridge was nicely rimed today and with some sunshine late in the day it was looking great. Lots of groups out in the corries and climbers out in Coire sneachda. There was a team climbing on The Fiacaill Couloir as I was on the ridge. Another cold day tomorrow and milder conditions on Friday which will be good to get some consolidation in the snow.
