Northern Cairngorms..

Dave Barker and I visited the Northern Corries today. As we arrived at the Corrie Cas car park the temperature in the car was registering -18 degrees.

It certainly felt like a cold day on the crag, with many routes still being plastered in rime unless they have seen regular ascents. In fact conditions are probably better for hard mixed climbing just about any where other than the Cairngorm's at the moment. Might be that time to visit the North West...
