In case anyone was thinking of heading to SCNL tomorrow, conditions were surprisingly poor today. All rock right of Broad Gully was black - nothing had hoared overnight. Scabbard Chimney and Spectre were almost justifiable but not quite, and we did the main section of Innuendo before running out of whiteness. Pretty much every other party in the coire was on Dorsal Arete. Turf was frozen where not too buried but there was a fair bit of loose rock around. Probably better to go elsewhere...

In reply to Neil Adams:

Seconded.

In reply to Neil Adams:

its not all that surprising, it pissed it down at all levels wed night an most of thurs, stripping nearly all of last weekends snow and saturating everything. a day and a bit of cold this time of year is hardly going to work miracles

In reply to Webster:

Aye, I thought it had been colder further north. Obviously not.

In reply to Neil Adams:
Just read websters insightful comment... Not sure why you even bothered Neil!

In reply to Webster:

I guess it depends where you go - the conditions were pretty good on The Ben. Early season conditions failures are always good for getting some hill fitness back in the legs.

In reply to Fultonius:

I have had to console myself with that idea a few times!
