Savour the exposure as the ridge narrows to a knife edge, 3 kb

The IIs and IIIs are more than just a stepping stone to harder things, reckons Dan Bailey, but a rewarding goal in their own right.This selection spans everything from popular classics to obscure gems, from ridges to gullies, and from low level ice falls to remote mountaineering adventures.

Can I add Sron na Lairig? In my (very limited) experience this was one of my favourite days. Lovely walk-in, not very crowded, and a route that unfolds beautifully and the crux right near the top. It helped that we had a blue sky day I wonder where I found that route Dan.....

> Can I add Sron na Lairig?

Please do. I picked a couple of routes which were less well known, not the established classics. There are lots when the sky is blue and the turf (or ice) frozen. But when will that happen?

Hopefully it'll happen around mid Feb Andy - during my little window of opportunity! But seriously, I like your recommendations - for someone like me who can only afford a week (if I'm lucky) a year I love these articles. Lady's Gully is now in the list. Cheers.
