12th Feb: a very active day with Izzie

After seeing the aftermath of two very large areas in Sneachda, Northern Cairngorms Izzie and I tentaively ventured up to the Alladin's area. Izzie wanted to practise lots of movement skills and did an excellent job going up steep ground with an awful lot of concentration and care, and descended Fiacaill Ridge, which was particularly busy, and not surprisingly given that it was such a glorious day. On our descent we were lucky enough to spot Greg Boswell giving The Hurting a go. Unfortunately we weren't really wrapped for the occassion and eventually shuffled our way out the Coire. I only wished we watched him do the full ascent soon after.
The significantly large crown wall put in to perspective by this curious mountaineer. The blocks of slab at the bottom of the Coire were nearly the height of my axe.
