I've just had two days out in the glen and I can tell you that there's a sh@t load of snow in the Corries; in the snowpack lots of layers, lots of graupel but I didn't see any fracture propagation. The freezing levels were way higher than advertised and there's quite a lot of slough debris about. On the plus side it looks amazing. Rocky stuff that doesn't require ice or turf is a fair bet.
More warming due over the weekend so snow is going to shift, crafty tactics or avoidance required!
As for the nick of the Ben, haven't been there for a week but I reckon it's all to play for if you can to it safely, that ice in mid to upper altitudes will take a bit of shifting.
Meanwhile the search for the missing lad goes on, good luck to all.
Thought I'd share the info. Have a safe Easter.
