In reply to Dom Connaway:
We scrambled up an easy buttress (not sure what it's called) more or less directly under the summit of SCNL today. All the gullies and both side ridges are covered in snow down to the level of the coire floor, the crags and buttresses are clear, obviously. Today, the snow was sugary verging on wet where it had had a few hours of sun. All the gullies had sun wheels, and two had debris from partial depth wet snow avalanches. Personally, I wouldn't have wanted to be in a gully today, though others were on the path up from the hidden valley (which has an awkward cornice at the top) and didn't come to any harm.
