Dave, Julie and Wilson, glad your all ok - albeit a couple of broken ribs.
Accidents can, and do, occur but it only reminds us to be ever vigilant and alert on the hills in these conditions. You both had crampons and axes out showing the awareness of safety issues, i think Julie was really unlucky. Tough woman to walk back that 8k
Seems there was a few accidents at the weeknd. The guy who fell 1000ft, Julie and a guy burst his leg descending from the bealach at Dorain & Dothaidh.
Be careful folks and always have your ice axe out - crampons when needed.
Heres hoping for a speddy recovery for all.
