Boomerang Arete, Stob Coire nan Lochan




Jason, Chris, James and I headed into Stob Coire nan Lochan today for another gorgeous day in the Scottish Highlands. We climbed Boomerang Arete (III) in near perfect conditions. As you can see in the photos we saw an ice halo around the sun which normally is a warning of bad weather on the way, enjoyed blue skies all day and then a mackerel sky at the end of the day as the sun dropped below the skyline. There is still lots of unconsolidated powder around so care is still required in route selection but it doesn't get much better than this!
