Looking over towards Ben Macdui – patchy cover. Some ice forming in places on Hell’s Lum, but nothing to climb. The snow was crisp and hard in places?- but softened in the sun.

We climbed a busy Afterthought Arete?-?great, easy scramble with a couple of tricky steps. About four teams on it, but a lovely climb in the sun!

?

We came back over the Goat Track – bomb hard snow and ice – crampons essential!

Lots of snow still for winter skills and mountaineering, with snow forecast this week. Drop us an email if interested info@mountainactive.co.uk
