The freezing level has been fairly high over in the Cairngorms for the last couple of days. This hasn't dampened the spirits on the BMC International Meet however, with many climbers active in the northern corries.

Eric, Dennis (from the Netherlands) and myself had a good day out in Coire an Lochain climbing 'Central Crack Route' IV,5 on No.2 Gully Buttress. Although a little soggy, there was plenty of snow on the buttresses to resist this current thaw.

The forecast for tomorrow suggests much colder weather..
