The walk out over the west wall

The gully still good depth. The surface is quite uneven and lumpy, like wavelets on the sea.

:: Weather Conditions
Four seasons in one day! Dreich, drizzle, heavy rain showers, sun and warm.
:: Snow Conditions & Info
The snow is reducing rapidly, the difference since Monday was remarkable. The ptarmigan patch is still sizable but getting thin and you have to pick your line carefully. The Ciste has receded significantly, it is a bit of a walk to the skiable snow. The surface was the biggest surprise. On Monday is was soft orange peel but now is is like hard wavelets on the sea. Quite uncomfortable to ski but still worth the walk.
