Pinnacle Buttress Groove

 Another stunning day with Steve, Scotland at its very best. We had an earlier start and headed into Stob Coire Nan Lochain. There were still plenty of teams ahead of us and so we opted for plan D which saw us climbing Pinnacle Buttress Groove. The conditions were superb and neither of us had climbed the route before so it was definite type one fun! Stunning views from the top too. Wonderful. Thanks very much Steve.

 Steve and I have had a fantastic day on Craig Meghaidh. Blue skies, sunshine, firm neve, ice and of course great company 😀 We climbed Cinderella and there were lots of other folk out making the most of the conditions on plenty of other lines. Ace!

 The freezing level dropped nicely overnight to give some firm neve and fresh snowfall. We headed up the East Ridge of Beinn a Chaorainn and got a good exfoliation as well as some more ace mountaineering!

 A good physical day today with Steve and Nick. With freezing levels up high we figured we would have to do the same and went for a single axe mountaineering day. We headed up the Lost Valley, onto Bidean and then over Stob Coire Nan Lochain. Good work boys!

 I’ve been out with Steve today which is always a pleasure 😀 We had a lovely day on Stob Ban to kick off our week. Ace!

 A great final day with Tom and Joe. We climbed some nice ice, we built some snow anchors, did some abseiling, saw a Ptarmigan and kept out of the wind. Ace! Thanks very much both for a lovely week.
