Sping conditions
2nd April 2008
Some large cornices and strange “Mr Whippy” formations exist at the top of many crags.
Some large blocks of debris from a recent cornice collapse.
After an icy start this morning the snowpack soon softened in the warm sunny conditions. There are large cornices about, and some of these are begining to droop and become unstable in the mild conditions. We found debris from a recently collapsed cornice on the Cairn slope of Aonach Mor. This included some pretty substantial blocks. With the forecast for the mild conditions to continue tomorrow, cornice collapse will remain a hazard.
