Wintry but wet. Alasdair 24th January

24/01/12

Feeling robbed today as the warm wet weather arrived early. There was superb ice on the routes on Thearlaich but the temperature was rising fast and rain steady. We opted to dump the gear & run to the top of Alasdair. By the time we got back all of the rime had gone and the good ice of an hour before had turned to slush.

Matt took John’s party up NW Ridge of Bruach na Frithe where the alpine training continued despite the weather’s best attempts to send them packing; breed them ‘ard in Essex!
