Aonach Eagach Ridge

Today Bill, Stu and I headed for the Aonach Eagach ridge. Steve Stout and party had started before us and so broke trail in the DEEP snow - thank you ! When we took over the lead we had to return the favour and brake trail - exhausting!!

The weather was awesome, the wind settled down as forecast and we had a couple of patches of visibility to look around. The route was in incredible condition - SO MUCH SNOW !!

Stu and Bill had a terrific day... Stu is a fell runner and we used the rope to hold him back !!

The mist was in most of the time - such a brilliant atmosphere.

Another team slightly behind us.

Up, down, up, down, up, down - such is the Aonach Eagach Ridge...

More down

But there was sometimes time to sit down !

Here Clive is with Maddy... Maddy is only 16 - congratulations on a winter traverse at that age! The only problem now is how to top this tomorrow...?
