Fiacaill Ridge, Coire an t'Sneachda

Queues at bottom of Jacob's Ladder




Today I took Craig over to The Cairngorms and we walked into Coire an t'Sneachda where Craig embarked on his first winter lead. He took me up Fiacaill Ridge II with a start up some steep snow and then moving onto the mixed sections at the top. The weather was good for us again today and the snow on the ground is firm with some icey patches. Towards the end of the day the wind picked up and it started to rain as we reached the car.

A mix of Tandem and Solo skills demonstrated today from the Outdoor Students.
