Loch Avon Basin Monday 10th December
Yesterday Damien, Mark, Euan and The Young Jedi went into the Loch Avon basin to see if any of the turf routes were frozen on Carn Etchachan unfortunately the turf has been covered by a fairly deep level of snow on some aspects insulating the turf.
But all was well and good sport was had by all climbing Afterthought Arete Grade III on Stag Rocks with much hooking and jollification.
Conditions on the dark walk out were superb with temps sitting about -1/-2 on the haul out of Coire Raibert with colder temps looking likely towards dawn.
