On Friday, Jen, Charlotte and myself headed into Corrie an t Sneachda to revise essential winter skills. The weather was much more settled than recent days, although warmer than expected.

Most of the gully lines were complete, with many receiving ascents form numerous parties. The buttresses weren't in quite so good condition, although an RAF team from Kinloss climbed 'The Hybrid' IV,4 describing the turf as still well frozen.

Today (Saturday) the conditions were some what colder allowing Penny, Neil and myself to make ascents of 'The Slant' and 'Jacobs Ladder'. The snow had frozen well over night giving good neve, ideal for cramponing.
