Moonlight climbing

Filed under: Winter Climbing, Winter Conditions — davy @ 1:52 pm

Not exactly Ben Nevis, but last night gave a clear, crisp, moon-lit night so I nipped up and climbed a gully line on Caerketton Hill. Someone else obviously had the same idea, as there was a line of crampons going up until the gully line was blocked by an alcove, where they stopped. A few deft axe strokes in good turf later and I was over the steep bit and on the summit watching the moon rise.
More snow this morning, so I think a ski-tour may be on the cards.
