Dorsal Arete

Snow fell overnight to sea level in Glencoe. We walked into Stob Coire nan Lochan in sunshine. This quickly changed once we reached the coire to heavy snowfall and strong winds. The weather deteriorated throughout the day to whiteout conditions.

As well as looking at snow anchors today, we climbed Dorsal Arete. The snow on the route was in excellent condition. During our ascent we heard two large avalanches somewhere in the coire. Windslab was building throughout the day.
