...and on up into the cloud
A86 picked out by the sun. Walked up into the cloud from this point.
Afternoon sun on the reservoir
We waked up to the right, ascending to a col between coires
Coire Ardair
 
Dave and Richard near the col where we turned around
Climbers just discernable at the bottom
Easy Gully from above
 
Grey hair, the first sign of altitude sickness
We walked up from the Lodge. Looking south-west with Meall Cian Dearg on the right
Heading up Beinn a Chaorainn
Not an easy stream crossing - the rocks were glazed with ice. John (standing on ice) wondering why he hadn't thought up a better excuse that morning
Heading up Beinn a Chaorainn
Looking back at our path between the forests, the stream crossing gully just discernable in the foreground.
Heading up Beinn a Chaorainn
Sunrise walking in from Aberarder. An early start to get in some climbing
Heading up Creag Meagaidh
Walking up towards Coire Ardair. Easy Gully is the prominent center snow filled gully
Heading up Creag Meagaidh
 
Light fades as we head home
Looking down our descent valley (Stream Allt a Chaorainn)
Loch Treig
 
Loch Treig just visible
 
Looking back with a frozen Lochan a Chorie on the right
 
Start of the ascent up Beinn a Chaorainn...
We didn't fancy it either, so dropped off towards the col
Steep snow slope approach to the gullies
 
Steeper than it looks up to the col
Lots of power snow, avalanche debris, funnel shape and big cornice put them off for some reason, so they returned
The forward party checking out their chosen gully
 
The long slippery plod home
Looking south over Tulloch Statio Lodge, our accomodation for the weekend. Chno Dearg and friends.
Tulloch Station Lodge
 
Walking up to the higher coire
 
Weather lifts while looking back at our approach
