Yesterday Greg and I headed into Coire an Lochain for some mixed action. A fair bit of snow had fallen and the cloud was very heavy with occassional snow showers throughout the day. We wanted a short day and so decided on a link up of the first pitch of Sidewinder, followed by the next two pitches of Western Route. This gave a nice line with some interesting climbing, there was a lot of hoar on the route which necistated a fair amount of cleaning but gave a full on winter adventure. A bit of handy navigation saw us back at the car park in time to head home for pizza and a movie. Today we went back up to the Corries but the winds were much stronger than forecast and with the car being rocked around, spindrift obscuring everything and people struggling to walk we decided to head home. It was great to get back out climbing and I am super pumped for the rest of winter.
