Glenn and Jerry were on Beinn an Dothaidh on Sunday – ”
West Buttress, III. great turf but had a fair amount of soft snow making it slow going. steep chimney on pitch 2 felt hard for III. freezing level at crag base. 6c in the valley! 4 or 5 other teams in taxus area. jerry led a full 60 meter top pitch to finish a quality route which deserved its star.”

Andrew, Halli, Andri and I had the inaugural
Scottish meet of the Icelandic Alpine Club at the CIC hut on Ben Nevis. Conditions were mostly cold and snowy with significant wind slab build up at times. The upper corries were all avalanching at times so we tended to stay low. That being said, Itallian climbers staying at the hut ventured up to Indicator Wall wading through waist deep snow in Obsevatory Gully.

We climbed Fawlty Towers, Castle Ridge, Nerid Gully and the Carn Dearg Cascades. Other climbers climbed Point 5, Hadrian’s Wall, North East Buttress and Gardyloo Gully.

Snow overnight on nevis but thaw this morning. Avalanche debris out of no.2 gully.

good day on castle ridge. Lots of snow.
