In reply to Jackob:
When it's stormy--if you insist on going out at all--the thing to do is work out which direction the wind's coming from, then climb on something that is sheltered from it by something bigger in the way. E.g. the Douglas Boulder is sheltered by the Ben and Carn Mor Dearg from E through S to W. Or Glen Clova is sheltered from the NW to NE by the Mounth and Lochnagar. This tactic doesn't ever mean you won't get blasted *at all*, but it saves you from the worst. The downside is that, because you're not so high, you're likelier to find unsatisfactory ice (as we did yesterday).
Yesterday there was a southerly, so we climbed on Meall Dearg (the top not the Corbett), which is immediately north of Liathach and lower than it. We never got really blasted until the walkout back towards the Ling Hut, because that was the first time in the day we were walking S with no big hill breaking the wind in front of us.
Towards the end of the day we could see snow-plumes coming off the main ridge of Liathach, and while my partner was abseiling off I saw a big spindrift avalanche fall the full length of Bell's Buttress for a long, long time. My immediate thoughts were "Thank God I'm not on Bell's Buttress" and "Thank God we're abbing off the S side of Meall Dearg into Coire na Caime, not down the northern aspect".
