Forcan Ridge and The Saddle..

Wednesday saw the start of our "mini adventure break" and yet more trail breaking.

The attractive Munro, The Saddle was the target this time via The Forcan Ridge I/II. We left slightly later in the day having made our preparations for snow holing.

As anticipated it got dark high on the route, but a clear sky led us upward when you could see through the spindrift.

Finally, The Saddle was reached and we set to building two large snow holes. The following morning saw a descent of the north ridge and a great end to a weeks winter mountaineering.

I was again out for Martin Moran..
