In reply to Webster:
Hi Webster, thanks for that. Not sure though what myth has been busted? I’m not aware of anyone (certainly not me) saying that “...that ice at udlaidh does... mean ice in Eilde canyon.” What is the case is that “probably a good indicator is Beinn Udlaidh… if Udlaidh is ‘in’, then Eilde Canyon is worth a visit!” I still think that is the case. Anyway, always good to have folk exploring new(ish) areas, and giving feedback. Let’s hope the next few days of cold bring Eilde Canyon routes into condition.
Re the wind.. anywhere can be windy, and whilst Eilde can be very sheltered if the wind is blowing “across” it... if it’s blowing “down” it is a wind tunnel!!
Hope this helps. Happy climbing Simon
