In Pinn and Mhic Choinnich
Matts Report
Martin and I were walking up the west ridge of Sgurr Dearg getting pelted by rain, sleet and hail. I was hoping that the promised improvement in the weather was going to materialise before we reached the In Pinn. The hail showers started to drop off and as we got ready at the bottom of the climb they had stopped completely. The rock was quite wet but this did not slow Martin down at all and he sauntered casually up the East Ridge despite not having done any climbing for 20 years! Right on cue the sun made an appearance as we arrived at the top and we then got a view across Coire Lagan. This encouraged us to head for Mhic Choinnich and we were rewarded by some beautiful dry rock that made the scramble to the summit an absolute pleasure. The walk down in bright sunshine was quite pleasant as well-at least 3 seasons of weather in one day I reckon.
