Hi,
A superb day. Parked up, walked up and then climbed
a linking series of snow gullies to the summit. Stripped
to thermal tshirt til the summit.
Brillint views of Bidean ridges and Aincah Eagach. The ski
mountain and Nevis had summit covered in cloud.
Ambled upand down the ridge, crampons on for the 3nd half.
Beautiful big cornices and scooped snow. Spoke to the only
other walker who said the step before the munro summit
was not doable as a traverse without a rope.
So I went as far as I could and decided that the traverse below
and after the step was dodgy with crusty topped snow with
very slidey snow for 1-2ft underneath.
Spent an hr on the top watching climbers around on various gullies
and butresses. So still I could hear people on both ridges and the twin
munros east of me. Some folk abbing or down climbign a headwall
gully above the hidden valley.
Slid and slimed down the descent just before the Fhada top beside the
river gully and then bottomed out at the path. Went to take the last photo
and realised my digital camera was gone. A small blck bag clipped to my
rucksac waist belt, doh.
It's a Kodak CX7310 in a black snap link shut bag with a GB mem card.
Luckily I backed up the card with 1500 photos on it last week. I have
digital camcorder footage of today as well.
Please post if you find it thanks.
Nick
