Some photos of Skiing – Doug Byrce http://www.haggistrap.co.uk and Grigor did a ski traverse of Stob Gobhar on New Year’s day. Closer to home, both Doug and Andrew have been out ski touring in the Pentlands – great cover and close to home.

Road conditions and work have prevented me getting climbing, but last night Lee and I went up to Careketton Hill in the Pentlands and climbed the central gully which was chocked full of snow and the rock wall at the top was burried. We then climbed a steepish trufy line at about grade III in a blizzard before we thought we’d better bale.
Lots of deep, slabby snow in places – may only be the pentlands, but be aware never the less – snow can avalanche here, too!
