With regard to Sneachda see

Recent condition details of The Runnel, Crotched Gully, Central Gully, The Mirror, Jacob's Ladder, Fingers Ridge and Pygmy Ridge and more are on the blog and the Talisman Facebook photo albums.
With regard to Jacob's Edge the natural and safest way is to climb two thirds of the way up Jacob's Ladder then finish left on the upper section of Jacobs Edge as this avoids any loose rock on the lower section.
In short with the high pressure weather system, an early start and finish the remaining complete easy gully lines have been simply superb over the last week. So has the rock climbing with a snowy approach and the skiing!
Despite the sun and high valley/plateau temperatures, snow in the shade is likely to be icy with a serious rocky runout for any slips. A few folk have been caught out...
