Late winter Liathach
Late winter in Wester Ross can throw everything at a mountain and so it was this weekend when we tackled Liathach with Dan and his friends. Hail, snow, bright warming sunshine, strong winds, gusts, hard ice, soft snow and dry rock below about 900m. Luckily the wind and hail held off during the scramble over The Pinnacles mid-way along the ridge. The large picture below shows the group on the western Munro top Mullach an Rathain with views west to Beinn Alligin. Two winter munros, a classic west-coast scramble in spring conditions, a mixture of snow, ice and rock and sunshine through the afternoon – what a day.
