The Scottish weather is up to it's old tricks. After more than a week of blue skies, freezing temperatures and light winds we woke to a gale from the east and blizzard conditions. We opted to climb Beinn Chaorainn by it's east ridge. By tackling each step directly we were able to tackle a variety of grade III ground leading directly to the summit. No views today and we kept the rope on to navigate across the plateau to the descent ridge. A very different experience to last Friday and the first day this winter I've had to wear my goggles. Today I was working for Adventure Peaks on a Climb Improvers / Everest preparation course.
