Anyone know how the recent snowfall has affected the Cobbler, do you think there were routes in the IV region in nick or is it mostly black at the moment?

Thawing on the West today, it'll be black. Turf wouldn't have been frozen anyway.

Cheers for the quick replies guys.

Looking for something to do thurs/fri got any suggestions for the Arrochar/Argyl area?

Turf free mixed that's got reasonable walk-ins.

I'm at the ice factor twice a week, looking forward to actually getting out and doing something when conditions permit.

I don't mind inclement, it's out of conditions that would be my issue.
I'd argue that blue skie and cobbler winter climbing on the North peak are nearly never coinciding.

If it's of any interest, I walked up Ben Dorain earlier today to stretch the legs. All the rock in coire an dothaidh was black and running with water. There was some wet snow about but turf wasn't frozen anywhere even on top (1079m). There was some precipitation but again, all rain, even on top.
