We were meant to be climbing on Saturday, but with the Cairngorm ski road closed and all of us keen for more we decided to meet over West on the Sunday. Thankfully I'm quite practised in finding the bottom of Curved Ridge, because it was extremely murky all day. Actually, we had just one glimpse into Glen Etive much later in the day, which looked pretty mysterious. So, an unusually snowy ascent of the ridge - we were able to place axes indiscriminately in snow most of the way up the usually rocky ridge!
After still more murk, we dug a ruschblock and then descened the main coire, with both Isla and Suzi doing excellenlty in down climbing safely and steadily right the way down unaided.
Here's to future adventures with and by them (although Isla does look a bit uncertain about this is Suzi's picture above!), what a lovely few days.
