On Thursday last week I joined Roger and Will for a short day in the Northern Corries. The deep, soft snow was still pretty hard going and we were thankful of a good track straight to the base of the Mess of Pottage in Coirie an t’Sneachda. We climbed Hidden Chimney Direct followed by an unknown chimney that broke left from 10m up the top pitch of hidden chimney. There’s no record of this in the guide book but its so obvious I can’t believe its not been done before and proved to be a great 30m pitch with a tricky roof to overcome – about V 6.
