Wild, Wet and Windy on Buachaille Etive Beag

The team and I climbed Buachaille Etive Beag today before spending time looking at avalanche rescue techniques near the col. The weather was not perfect with heavy rain for the first part of the ascent followed by heavy hail during the middle part of the ascent then heavy snow and 60 mph winds for the final ridge to the summit.

All the new snow was wet. With extreme winds forecast tomorrow we will be at lower elevations.

A windy summit.
