Cornice collapse
16th March 2021

Judging by the size of blocks, this is cornice collapse from [Ben Nevis] Number 4 gully last night. The top of Number 4 gully must be around 1200m and this photo is at 950m to give some idea of how far it’s travelled.

Looking up Number 5 Gully on Ben Nevis. Illuminated cornices by the sun, just poised to collapse in the warmer temperatures.
