Had planned on another technical route going for Taxus, however on closer insepection the ice had not formed properly and was mainly ice from the previous day. So we headed for West Gully. Initially the gully did not look in however the snow and Neve turned out to be fantastic and we soloed up the gully having a great time. The weather was good as well and once we had finished the route the views of central and southern highlands were excellent. Could even see the distant cairngorms in the sun throug and beyond Loch Ericht. Cracking visibility today.
