Still Winter in Sneachda

Today I took Rebecca and Kirsten into Corie an T'Sneachda for some "Summer" Scrambling. As you can see this was going to be a carefully thought out route. We had no crampons or axes with us but managed to get up onto the Fiaciall Ridge via the Twin Ribs on a mixture of rock and a few small snow pockets. We then descended through some boulder fields again avoiding snow. During the day we had rain, hail and snow falling on us and the occasional period of sun.
