Monday 2nd March
For the past three days i have been in the Highlands with the Falkirk High Tops Team.
On friday we headed into Coreag Dubh Mor on Liathach and climbed Way Up before traversing the ridge. The gully was complete all the way with good snow. Thanks to James Edwards of High Mountaineering for this information.
The next day we headed into Sgorr Ruadh and climbed North Gully. The gully was complete with excellent snow apart from one rope length at the top. This is a beautiful gully which emerges 400m from the summit.Â
On sunday we drove down to the Cairngorms to do a quick route on the way home. We climbed The Runnel. The route is still in condtion but getting lean at the top of the chimney. Alladins Couloir, Jacobs Ladder, Central Gully and Central Gully Left Hand still look ok. It is still possible to ski from the top of the Goat Track to the summit of Ben Macdui on good cover.
