Paul and I were out today on the East Ridge of Beinn a’Chaorainn. The lower steep section of the ridge was largely snow free and the turf lower down wasn’t fully frozen. However, by climbing the snowy ramp line on the North side of the ridge we were able to stay on old snow joining the ridge higher up where it was snowy and the turf well frozen.
There were a few centimetres of unconsolidated fresh snow on top of the older snow and there were some light snow showers during the afternoon on a Westerly wind. Lots of debris from small snow slides and sun wheels on either side of the ridge.
