After all the mental weather, Adam and I decided to stay well away from anywhere high and headed to the easternly facing Eas Anie. We were hoping to be able to drive all the way to the crag but unfortunately the access road is private and we bumped into the farmer who politely turned us around. After about an hour and a half we were at the base of the route and after some scrambling got established on the route proper. Adam led up the right side as the left was quite banked out, this gave some great climbing on featured but plasticy ice. I then ran up to the top and as the wind picked up we descended down the side of the route and headed back to the car. It continued snowing all day and we both got quite wet, but after a few words with the Highway Maintenance guys at the closed snow gate we snuck through and were back in a warm hut in Fort William in no time. No pictures as my memory card wasn't working today, video to follow soon though.
