Shortly after midday the Corrie of Lochnagar from the col by Meikle Pap. Quite a bit more snow on the apron directly below the crag than there has been recently. Looking onto Eagle Ridge (centre) with Parallel A and B to the right. Not much evidence of ice buiding up. The temperature at the profie site at 900 metres today was plus 2 and cooling is forecast. Distant view to the North-West. Good cover high up on Ben Avon. Tap Test at the main profile site for the day. Easterly aspect. Significant amount of

Quiet day in Corrie of Lochnagar

With in excess of fifty cars in the Glen Muick car park I expected at least somebody to be in the corrie. There was no one but there was a lot of firm neve. The photo foreground shows the first aid box and avalanche probes that are left permanently in the corrie and maintained by Braemar Mountain Rescue. Main wide gully is The Black Spout. Looking directly up Parallel Gully A. The entire contents of recent weeks are now deposited below it, debris about 20m wide and extending well down towards the loch. ...

Another cold and windy day on Lochnagar. Judging by the mild forecast it could be the last cold one for a while! Photo below is looking west into The Black Spout in the corrie of Lochnagar. Exposed ridges not holding much snow. "Tap Test" (TT on snow profile) being carried out at main profie site for the day. Meikle Pap in background.

Walking up the track from Glen Muick towards Lochnagar.....wishing we had taken skis! Probably possible to ski from about 1km above the woods towards the col between Little Pap and Cuidhe Crom. The blue sky on the picture below was the only blue we saw after leaving the valley. Taken from the col by Meikle Pap the West ridge of Lochnagar appears briefly. This was the best visibiity we had and it only lasted a couple of minutes. We had hoped to post some better pictures of the cliffs today. The main profie

Setting off from Ballater it was a cold, clear and frosty morning. By the Col beside Meikle Pap it had clouded over but it was good to see the dusting of fresh snow above. The cloud hung around the upper half of the cliff. Sad to see the ice pitch at the start of Parallel A is no longer complete. Over on West gully the first pitch remains but on closer inspection it may prove fragile and partially detached. Walking back down the track to Glen Muick I met a local snowboarder with plans for The Black Spout.

Today was the first morning there was ice on the puddles for several days. Walking into Lochnagar today it was difficult to believe it was only five days ago that we skied to the top from the Glen Muick car park. There is now very little snow low down though cover on the plateau looks good still. Parallel A is still complete. In the corrie the snow in the shade had a crust on it but in many places we were breaking through to deep granular snow below. We saw no one climbing today. The Black Spout. (On the

Looking towards Cuidhe Crom and Meikle Pap from the Glen Muick approach to Lochnagar. Still great cover from the valley. Higher up the wind began to blow again from the South-West transporting more snow into the corrie. Looking down the valley that leads to Glas-alt-Shiel on Loch Muick. Still heavy going on foot. Lots of people out today enjoying the full winter conditions.....climbing, walking, ski touring and snowshoeing. The Glen Muick car park was full today. Skiing round the edge of the corrie we met

There were gusts of over 70 mph on the increasing Westerly winds. Impressive amounts of spindrift were billowing across the corries. This SARDA dog from the lake district was adapting well to conditions. A short clip of the spindrift sweeping across the buttress tops.
