For day two of our winter mountaineering course we headed up into Stob Coire nan Lochain and climbed Dorsal Arete. It was pleasantly quiet with just one other team on it and the snow was actually quite good on the whole despite massive amounts of windslab elsewhere in the Coire. There were teams on Scabbard chimney, Ordinary Route and Unicorn which resulted in some power screaming and a big lob! The stunning views forecast this afternoon did not materialise and the wind was still pretty strong on the top. It has also been snowing on and off all day so care is needed in route choice this weekend with a high avalanche risk.
