Nearly at the Bealach.
Self Portrait!
From the Bealach the clouds have started to come in. The steep slopes of Meall Cuanail in the background.
We should be looking out at Oban and the Isle of Mull from here. You can see a little of the ocean, but not much.
Looking south down Loch Awe.
Spindrift snow seems to get everywhere!
About a third of the way to the summit from the bealach the ground becomes hard nevé, and definately time to get crampons on and ice axe out. Very slow ascent with some icey precipitous run offs into the coire! I emphasise good footwork here and steady balance.
Craig has reached the summit of his third Munro. Craig has also reached the summit of his third Munro with no views. Such is life in the Scottish mountains and weather.
Feeling very comfy in my new Rab Latok Alpine Jacket.
Settling down for a brew in the clouds.
The view opened up for about 30 seconds although not very far.
Looking down the Coire.
We started to see a little more once we came down out the cloud base.
Back at the bealach.
Trying some vertical ice climbing (not)
All the other peaks mostly seem to have sunshine except Cruachan.
A little freestyle glissade. (Don't do this with crampons on)
Back down at the dam and the south seems to be enjoying more sun than us.
The obligatory sunset pictures just as we get down towards the car.
