Improving conditions..

There has been a return to full on winter conditions here on the westcoast of Scotland today. Fresh snow and a dropping freezing level has resulted in building ice on Ben Nevis.

Pete, Dave and I nipped up to Observatory Gully with a view to climbing but found soft ice and witnessed some large avalanches (one of which was very close to one team).

The freezing level is forecast to be fairly high tomorrow, with mixed objectives at medium levels probably being the best bet..
