The cloud hung around the upper half of the cliff. Sad to see the ice pitch at the start of Parallel A is no longer complete. Over on West gully the first pitch remains but on closer inspection it may prove fragile and partially detached.
Walking back down the track to Glen Muick I met a local snowboarder with plans for The Black Spout. (Obvious wide gully to right in picture below). I hope it went well for him!
Leaving the Corrie the cloud lifted a bit. Some large cornices remain at the tops of the gullies.
