It has been a gorgeous day in the Cairngorms today with crystal clear blue skies and sunshine and very little wind. It looked as though a few folk had called in sick as the crags were busy for a Thursday in the middle of December! I was joined by Alec a good friend of mine and we climbed Invernookie (III, 4). The snow was generally quite good but a little crusty in places, the route was nicely rimed up as you can see in the photos and it was well below freezing all day with temperatures in the car park of -3c. We then strolled across for a look down the Loch Avon basin which is also shown in the photos, there were several parties heading in this morning and the Loch was frozen. Its looking a fairly wild weekend which is a shame as the conditions are improving all of the time.
