[MCR] Coire Dubh - Dangerous Slab Conditions

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

The following conditions were observed by a group from the ACMG - Guide
Training Ice course. Above the first steep ice pitch, hard windslabs 20-30cm
thick were encountered. These recent windslabs developed from overnight
winds/spindrift and were not bonding to the underlying facet layer. We
turned around due to this. Moderate to strong West winds throughout the day,
continuous spindrift and forecasted precipitation will likely increase the
avalanche hazard in the short term.
