Coireag Dubh Mor, Liathach. Over Sixties Icefall III. Heavy snow showers on Friday meant plenty of fresh snow on the approach paths to the corrie.
:: Route Grade
Grade III
:: Weather Conditions
Weather on Saturday was generally good. Light winds with occasional snow showers and freezing temperatures. Not nearly as bad as predicted in the national forecasts.
:: Climbing Conditions
Ice conditions on this route were very good, with adequate belays and runners. The other harder ice-falls in the corrie were all complete and seemed to be in good condition. A very pleasant short climb with a superb finish up Spidean a'Choire Leith.

An Teallach. Hayfork Gullly, Ridge and North Gully. (Saturday and Sunday). Good climbing conditions are back for the easier gullies only. Snow line at 600m.

Recent snow from mid-week blizzards has consolidated making long gullies a great fun option to gain the ridge.

Super weather Saturday and Sunday. Broken cloud, well above summits. No wind to speak of.
:: Climbing Conditions
All gullies in A'Ghlas Thuill look in, and have enough snow to last a long time yet. Toll an Lochain didn't look too good though. The ridge had a heavy covering of snow giving the pinnacles a very alpine feel.

The gullies (and ridge)on this mountain are superb. Whatever grade you climb, check it out some time.
