In reply to Tony the Blade:
Big blue skies at the moment, but it's clouding over for the rest of the week, with unpredictable bouts of rain and cloud. Also, quite excitingly, there might be a second return to winter coming on Wednesday, with snow down to the valley again, as we had on Friday.
That said, Cosmique Arete is always doable, it just depends on your sense of humour!
I would jump at the chance to spend any time I can outside, but I'm working lunch and dinners six days a week at the moment, so I can't help you on that front I'm afraid. Best of luck!
