Description


Route: Solo day up Blabheinn via the South Ridge (grade 2) and return via walkers path on the shoulder. Went back and forth over the crux sections of the ridge near south summit to make sure I had them wired for future clients.
Conditions: Mixed day post storm with some strong winds but generally good conditions. Snow line started at 600m with slushy snow then consolidated to full winter conditions by 700m
Group: Solo
Notes: Ace day out discovering new part of Skye that I had yet to get to. Beautiful ridge route which allowed focus on timings and speed estimations across easy but technical winter terrain

Area : Isle of Skye

Minginish and the Cuillin Hills above 800m
