Drooping cornices
15th March 2009
Long crack appearing well behind the corniced edge.
This section of cornice is unlikely to be there for long. In fact I am sure that the crack you can see was getting wider in the time we were there.
Ben Nevis yesterday (14th March). A fair bit of ice high up.Conditions have been mild for the past few days. Cornices are slumping, cracking and prone to collapse, as these pictures indicate. There is a fair amount of ice on the Ben. It is thawing at the moment, but what is left if/when it freezes should be good.
