Stella Day in Cairngorms

Today I have been out with Newcastle University Mountaineering Club on their annual winter meet. With little snow around in the Cairngorms compared with the west and not being into the area yet this winter I sought some beta from another instructor who had been into the Coires over the past few days. With a team of 6 we head up into Coire na Ciste blessed with perfectly blue sky and no wind at all where we spent a good few hours look at personal movement and Ice axe breaking before heading over the top to join the senior club members who had been climbing in Coire an t-Sneachda back at the ski centre car park.
