Today was a lovely day here in Scotland with blue skies and sunshine and no rain or snow so a real treat! Mick, Steve and I climbed Curved Ridge (II/III) taking the steepest line wherever possible and enjoying moving quickly over mixed ground. There were only a couple of other teams on the route although there were a lot of teams on D Gully Buttress and from overheard shouts I wonder how many of them thought they were on Curved Ridge? The snow was great giving nice first time placements and the views from the top stunning. A fabulous day with Scotland at its finest!

We were the first team on D Gully Buttress and it was our intention to climb it, but not sure if any of the teams following had spotted us and been lead astray...
The crux slabs were very tricky under the slushy snow & ice.
There must have been quite a few teams up curved ridge too as it was so well tracked out by the time we joined it for the top 2/3s.
