Simon, Lee and I decided to avoid the crowds and head over to Lurcher’s Crag. We climbed Deerhound Ridge. Depending which side of the ridge you climbed on you got warm, dry rock or rock-solid frozen turf, bomb hard snow and ice! A great day out in alpine conditions. We then abseiled into Quin and climbed the top-two pitches on styro-foam neve and ice. Top day out.
The Corries looked mobbed but in excellent condition.
