Monadliath Munros-current snow conditions?

Monadliath Munros-current snow conditions?


Postby weaselmaster » Wed Apr 28, 2021 8:14 pm

Just wondering if anyone has been over the Carn Dearg/ A’chailleach hills in the last week and could provide info on whether there’s snow interfering with the route? Sick Kid is a bit compromised in terms of snow abilities at present 😐

Just a wee fresh sprinkling of snow on the Sgorans during today although a bit of a retreat during the afternoon into the evening.

Cheers Gaffr, looks like we might do stuff around there then. I know The Ben and the Hrey Corries were still holding a bit, but last weekend seemed to take a major toll on snow generally

This was the west side of Carn Dearg on Monday this week (Loch Dubh in the corrie there). There might have been a bit of snow since then possibly (it was forecast as showers for the high mountains in the last day or two, but I don't know to what extent that materialised there).

Very different now for the Western Cairngorms with snow now at road level this morning.
Mel was in the area above Attadale and up to Beinn Dronaig Lodge....Lurg Mhor area.
