Not Applicable

Perfect bluebird. Very light winds. Felt pleasant in the Sun, but very dry air with a dew point of around -4°c kept snow firm except where directly exposed to prolonged sunshine.

Grade IV

Snowy. Freezing below foot of coire floor

Remarkable for the time of year with considerable build up of snow and ice. Alladins couloir already well banked up and skiable !
Several parties out on routes on the Mess of Pottage and Flutted buttress.

Forzen vegetation a bit suspect in places but with colder weather it will be getting better
