Northern Corries, Cairngorms

I am in the Cairngorms for this weekend on an AMI workshop for MIC trainees. It has been a cold crisp day with blue skies and sunshine and some nice fresh snow about. There were literally hundreds of people trailing into Sneachda but Lochain was much quieter. All of the butresses were white and there is ice about but it seems to be buried under the fresh snowfall - sorry no photos today as the camera battery went flat! We spent the day looking at mountaineering type ground, short roping, short pitches, snow belays and descent and had a great day.
