Ben Nevis Conditions

More accommodation than Kimber’s bunkhouse or the CIC at 1000m. No sign of Super-G above:(

Clearing skies west of Fort William and hoping for icy lines up high tomorrow. Softer snow with some fresh blowing in on a Westerly for the weekend.

SIESAWS anemometer possibly broken by 100mph gust today:(

West Highland Conditions

Ok not the best conditions lately, but we’ll check out the gullies tomorrow with a view to what’s coming as it gets colder on Friday :)

West Highland Climbing Conditions

Freezing on the highest tops again this morning. Good plastic ice continues to form although some excavating may be required this week-end to find good placements if you’re climbing in a blizzard:)

Ben Nevis Conditions

Great toffee ice up high just now. Slow thaw and snow due Saturday:) Soft and icy under cornices: burying my rucksack could have usefully added to our snow belay today.

West Highland Conditions

“Anticyclonic gloom” lifting not just to the SE of Lochaber but in many places, but with little of the snow/drizzle forecast. Some rotten snow, icy crust, good neve and reasonable winds though. Moderate wind. Two falls from snow high on Aonach Mor East recently but also some good spring skiing getting done. This was shot last Monday @TheNevisRange. Poor vis and icing is making things more challenging just now. Clear and cold out there tonight: less stellar weather imminent. Timing of the next band of snow is less certain towards the weekend.

More soft Snow expected for the Back Corries next weekend @TheNevisRange?

Freezing @ 1195m last 24hrs. Weak ice but light winds.

Thanks, Richard

Glencoe Conditions

Three star routes for all today on Stob Coire nan Lochain.  Ok, it looked sociable on Twisting and Dorsal, but good, quiet and safe climbing on good ice and neve today.
