Back on The Ben - SW Ridge of DB
Finally back out after a few days of admin hiding from Storm Ciara. 2 super friendly Snow Buntings on the way into the CIC hut stopped to say hello and then we joined a large number of others heading for The Douglas Boulder. It was a googles day with the cold wind and snow blowing around. On arrival we managed to nip around a couple of pairs about to start on the South West Ridge and got ahead of them and made our way to the top. A bit blowy at times but the route was in good condition with gear when needed. A couple of thought provoking moves interspersed with easy ground and then it was a quick abseil back into West Gully And then the wind really hit us as we down climbed and very quickly made our way back to the CIC hut and then back to car and down the track by 14:30. Always good to get in, do a route and get out with some daylight left.
