In reply to Cairngorm Adventure Guides:
In the coire today thought imho conditions were excellent (a Scottish chap agreed!) after a freeze Thursday night.
Fiacaill Ridge relatively bare of ice, rock shoes might have been more appropriate.
The Runnel ice pitch was frozen, cornice solid-ish.
Saw a group climbing AMD looked very blue!
Was a shame to leave...hopefully tomorrow will bring more of the same.
