Dave, Andy, Joe and I headed back into the Northern Corries today to escape the worst of the weather in the West. Dave and I climbed Mirror Direct (IV,4) which was very thin and wet! Nonetheless it gave a good pitch of ice followed by some easy snow and then a descent of Aladdins Couloir. Andy and Joe climbed the Haston Line on the Mess of Pottage. The freezing level was hovering around the summits and the buttresses were dripping but the ground is still frozen and there is hard snow under the surface mush! A good freeze would yield excellent conditions.
