Go East - life is brighter there



This morning the rain was drumming down in Fort William and the weather forecast promised sunshine East of the A9 so we headed to the Cairngorms. We were in total white out conditions for most of the day! We climbed Hidden Chimney (II/III) in Sneachda and had to rely on a compass just to find the crag! The snow was slightly soft due to the warmer temperatures and it was lightly snowing/sleeting on and off throughout the day. Having climbed the route we had some great navigation practice descending via point 1141 in zero visibility. A real Scottish day!
