There was a large (60m wide, 80 long) avalanche in Fionn Choire at apx ng;465256. on the west side of Sgurr a'Bhasteir. I don't know what triggered it but it was of reasonable size.
Keep safe if you're heading up there!
In reply to Cameron94: might be worth informing the sais as a record of it can be kept for future reference theres a link on there website for reporting avalanches. http://www.sais.gov.uk/index.asp
In reply to Cameron94: As far as I know it's pretty rare for the Cuillin to have avalanches this size, although quite small compared to what you can get I wouldn't want to be caught in one.
In reply to Cameron94:
You're right about the rarity; these are the 1st wet slab avalanches I've seen in 18 Cuillin winters.
Moderators have put my shot of the point the avalanche in the Stone Shoot started up- http://www.ukclimbing.com/images/dbpage.php?id=208098
In reply to Cameron94: Each of those 2 layers was about 25cm. The crown wall extended up the GSS a bit but had been recovered centrally. Above here the last 50m to the foot of the route nearly stopped me completely but Guys long legs took over (it was up to my chest).
In reply to Mike Lates: Did it look like it was going to go the day before? Just as well you had Guy with you! Worst I got was waist deep but it didn't last long at that.
Here's a photo, bit blurry though. The snow pack had a crust of around two inches on top before becoming soft but very hard when compacted.
Think it was slab or loose snow?
