Windy & wintry. 14 May
Mike’s report.
Despite the tops being clear frequently at the south end of the Ridge it was undeniably challenging today.
Coire Lagan when we arrived at the beach.
Sgurr Mhicchoinnich in the wet is always greasy and strong winds blowing up from Coire Lagan didn’t help. Collie’s Ledge was a particularly slow and scary section.

After lunch we traversed Thearlaich which was sheltered initially but a real snow storm came in for 5 minutes as we descended to the Stone Shoot. I’ll try to put the video of us abseiling in this onto You-tube soon. Everything cleared again briefly as we topped out on Alasdair with beautiful light and fine views but it was time to head back for well deserved beers.
