Excellent climbing today in the Northern Cories. Gully lines and easy mixed routes in good condition and getting climbed. Good neve, some in cracks and good ice about too.

Gullies indeed looking good. We did Milky Way which was good value today, good variation possible towards the top and plenty of neve, frozen turf and ice. Consolation prize after a very optimistic trip to climb Hoarmaster - cut short by having forgotten to bring the rock shoes! Absolutely nil on the buttresses, either in Lochain or Sneachda. Another team started up Andromeda but retreated, pronouncing it far too thin - which we agreed with.

We climbed the Vent, Ewen's Buttress and Fiacaill Couloir yesterday, all in nice icy conditions. Descended the Couloir which would be ok on ski at the moment, top 20m a bit icy then softens up a bit.
