22nd January
Today Paul, Damo, Mark and i headed to the west coast. Paul, Damo and i climbed Scabbard Chimney. Other teams were on Dorsal Arete, Moonshadow, Original Route and Twisting Gully. Teams were reporting well frozen turf, and a lot of good neve present on the buttress routes. The easier snow gullies are holding a lot of powder.
Mark did three munros in the Ben Starav area. The road down Glen Etive is icy in places and requires care. Mark found all snow types throughout the day from areas of waist deep powder to good neve.
