I lost my ice axe on the western slopes of Sgor Gaoith today 8th May, not sure where because I was in a blizzard and struggling to stay upright (didn’t make it to the summit, not wise). I think I still had it at the large stone at 840m on the way up and then we struck SE towards the plateau just south of the summit. We turned back 15 mins off the summit and returned roughly by the route of ascent landing on the track 100 or 200 yds from the allt a Chrom alltain. I reckon it fell off in the heather, so i don’t rate my chances very highly. If anyone finds it, please pm me. It’s a blue DMM cirque axe... Thanks, Emmanuelle
