I am in Aviemore this weekend for the Association of Mountaineering Instructors AGM. Bryn and I drove up from Wales together yesterday and had a day climbing in the Cairngorms today. This morning we headed to Hells Lum (III) which we climbed in bright sunshine on good neve and topped out for a lunch and a sun bathe with stunning views over the Cairngorms and a cloud inversion over Aviemore. We then dropped down into Sneachda and climbed Fingers Ridge (IV,4) in more normal weather as the cloud swept in and the wind picked up. Nevertheless the climbing was brilliant with good placements, good gear and of course plenty of banter. A very nice day in the mountains.
