[MCR] Coire Dubh ice

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

Guided two up on the ice of Coire Dubh today.

 

A mild morning on the done dry/covered in construction material debris (from the dry land fill) trail.

 

The first pitch is currently a steep WI3 with some real good sun affect. to get screws one would need to dig about 4 inches.

The rest of the route is really icy and dry. Not too much easy snow walking this year.

If a lower body burn is your thing this is it!

 

By mid day the snow was really coming in and by 14:00 we were back in a white winter wonderland.

The construction material was once again camouflaged by old man winter and the walls looked more wintery than they have looked in months.

In total nearly 5 cm had fallen by the time we drove away.

 

Time to wax the skis!

Cheers
