On Sunday 9th Euan, Tina, Scott, Duncan, Steve and I headed in to Coire an t-Sneachda and climbed Invernookie on Fiacaill Buttress. Euan, Duncan and Steve were first up and managed to nip around and climb the difficult section of Fiacaill Ridge whilst we topped out.
We then walked back around the coire rim and down Fiacaill Coire Cas. This gave us great views of the big cornices that are still around; there are some particularly scary examples with huge detached blocks in the Jacob’s Ladder/Forty Thieves area.
The snow had refrozen after the thaw of the previous day and there was good ice in the lower corner of Invernookie. Some snow showers, but some clear spells with good views, which made a pleasant change from Saturday. Euan will put more photos of the day on the Facebook page.
