24th February The Cramp

Posted by Euan @ 21:09 on 24/02/10

I was back at Beinn Udlaidh today with Tam and Jason from the Falkirk High Tops Team. We climbed The Cramp which gave 3.5 pitches of good climbing. We chose this route as large spindrift avalanches were pouring down other routes. Some smaller spindrift avalanches poured over our route.

On the plateau area,on areas with only slight angles, areas of windslab were collapsing on the weak layer below and propogating for 8 metres in both directions. The snow was unstable on many aspects.

John, Paul and Gary from the Falkirk High Tops Team climbed West Gully.
