Nice day out with Laura in the Northern Corries today. We climbed Fiacaill Couloir which was in excellent condition. The chockstone is completely buried at the top and there is not much gear between belays – as expected really. Quite a few teams had similar ideas which was probably a result of the large drooping cornices over other gully lines in the corrie. I saw teams on Invernookie and Belhaven. The Seam and Stirling Bomber also looked to have been climbed recently.
There was a large slab avalanche at the bottom of the Fiacaill Buttress yesterday and the crown wall is a few inches high and still well defined. Danny witnessed the avalanche and has a photo on his blog. Temperatures were particularly high today and the surface snow is damp and heavy.
