Conditions for Gairich

Conditions for Gairich


Postby Steve B » Thu Apr 16, 2015 11:26 am

Planning on heading up this on Saturday possibly. Not been on a hill in 6 months due to work so will feel it no doubt.
Wondering what the snow / ice is likely to be up there, also is access across the dam still OK?

Likely only a few patches of snow remaining on the normal route - you should be able to check it out from the dam.
Access was fine as of last summer.

Thanks for the reply. Will take all the ironmongery and decide at the start what to take up.
