Dorsal Arete

Today I was working for Jagged Globe.

We chose to go to Stob Coire nan Lochan in Glencoe - here is the view as we got into the Coire. The climb we chose was Dorsal Arete. There is still a huge amount of snow but much less than the waist depth of last week. I was climbing with Simon from Copenhagen - here he is bridging up before we arrived at the arete proper. The arete was thick with semi consolidated snow, but was the mixed, exposed challenge Simon wanted.




On the other side of Broad gully was Andy Stotesbury leading Nevin and Steve up Langsam (II/III***).

At last we got some good weather today - the sun even came out for some minutes in the blue sky - before the wind picked up...
