Took a rather icy wander into Sneachda today with the promise of a decent forecast...which it was til about mid morning!! Wind picked up, cloud dropped, snow came in after that. Before the world went white saw teams on - Doctors Choice, Pateys Route, Pygmy Ridge, Spiral Gully, Fingers Ridge, Red Gully and Goat-track Gully. We went up Goat-track, on variable snow - some well re-frozen after yesterdays rain, other stuff slightly suspect still. Wind created some shallow slab as route went in, with exciting sloughs every couple of minutes when it was proper blowing. Fun!!
Avalanche debris (from yesterday?) at the bottom of all the main gullies, complete with what looks like the old cornince from Central Gully - biggest single chunk of snow I have ever seen as part of avalanche debris (see photos).
Back over west now, lets see what the weekend brings...!!
Cheers folks,
Gordon.
