Aladdins Couloir

I’ve been out with Steve today in the Cairngorms. The weekends thaw has made an impact but we found good sport in Aladdins Couloir. The snow was great but care was required with the rock either side - you definitely wouldn’t want to be underneath anyone else. It was quiet, sunny and beautiful.
