It was cold day on Aonach M or with summit temperatures of around -9C and a bitter Easterly wind. The older snowpack is very hard and icy (and probably providing some good climbing conditions), with a patchy cover of soft windslab . I took a wee ski tour from the top of the ski area to the actual summit of Aonach Mor and back along the top of the West face.

The cuckoo hut at the top of the ski area was looking quite frosted today. Climbers at the top of Left Twin. As can been seen the top of many routes are quite corniced at the moment.
