Waterfall climbing in the Northern Corries..

Dave, Andy and I visited Coire an t-sneachda today in mild conditions. Despite some challenging conditions very similar to climbing under a high pressure water hose, we climbed Aladdin's Mirror Direct. Conditions should improve dramatically with a refreeze..
