Mountaineering in the sunshine




It has been a stunningly beautiful day here in the Cairngorms with blue skies, sunshine and little wind. What a contrast from yesterday. Jason and I waited for the ski road to open this morning as the snow ploughs were clearing the road after a good dump of overnight snow. We then enjoyed a mountaineering day heading up Fiacaill a'Choire Chais, down to Loch Avon and under Hells Lum before heading back onto the summit plateau. We were very envious of the many ski mountaineers out enjoying the fresh powder as we waded through up to our waists at times and they glided past effortlessly!
