Good Timing
3rd March 2020
It was a generally cloudy day with light winds and occasional snow showers. Fortunately we managed to be close to the summit of Aonach Mor when he sun came out.
There has been a lot of snow accumulation in the last week on many aspects. Some consolidation is starting to take place in the snowpack but instabilities persist. Â Large fragile cornices are an additional hazard.
A very snowy Aonach Mor plateau.
Carn Mor Dearg nearly visible.
Aonach Beag from near Aonach Mor summit.
A fine spot for some digging (top of Summit Gully, Aonach Mor).
Summit Gully, Aonach Mor. We chose a route down to avoid the steepest sections and stayed on a ridge where a steep section was unavoidable. Further details on safe travel in the winter mountains available at http://beaware.sais.gov.uk
