A BIG thaw
By Alan Kimber on 23/12/2011
Today the weather has cooled a lot after a few days of much warmer weather. Plenty of snow still remaining on the high mountains, but some ice will have disappeared. I have not visited the corries for a few days but would assume there is still plenty to climb.
Hi Alan,
Just a few pictures from today showing conditions 23rd December 2011. A short day out to the hut for a look after sorting out Christmas shopping this morning ! The snow just above the hut was starting to consolidate with an icy crust.
Large cornices were noted above the Trident Buttress and Coire na Ciste.
Have a good Christmas.
Cheers
Phill Thompson

Plenty of snow still on The Ben Alan. There is still some ice hanging on too. Lots of avalanche debris out of all the major gullies, surprise, surprise! Some pics on my blog from today. Merry Christmas! http://www.tarmachan.blogspot.com
