Scotland trip planned for this weekend Ice/winter routes, I need to make a final decision this evening, probably only going to get one trip this year to Scotland so a rainy weekend won’t result in a happy bunny

whats the latest gen on conditions is it all thaw and no freeze?

Currently all thaw! It's looking okay for Thursday into Friday, but I'm in Scotland and I'm off to ride bikes at the weekend rather than waste a walk in. The freezing level is projected to be well above the summits all weekend. I wouldn't bother if I were you.

Have you seen the Scottish Winter Climbing Conditions page on facebook?

If it's your one trip. Nope, wait for better conditions.

I live less than an hour from the Gorms and I'm thinking it's probably not worth the effort on Saturday and definitely not on Sunday.

yes, not looking good
