Dorsal Arete, Glen Coe




Naomi, Will and I headed up into Stob Coire nan Lochain today and climbed Dorsal Arete. It was snowing heavily over about 800m most of the day and we had some significant snowfall as we climbed. There was also a fairly strong Westerly wind so there will be some fairly sizeable accumulations of windslab over the next day or so. We had some lovely climbing conditions with the snow re-frozen to give nice neve on the route, the spindrift effect as we climbed the fin and the entire Coire to ourselves. A brilliant last day of the course.
