Bluebird Ben

Back up the Ben and what a difference a day makes: blue skies and beautiful views all the way to the sea and Skye. There was even a bit of neve around :)
We climbed Glovers Chimney III 4 which had a cracking steep ice pitch to start and a narrow verglassed chimney finishing at Tower Gap.
There were lots of teams out today on a whole host of routes in Coire na Ciste. Elsewhere, Point Five, Smiths, Tower Scoop and Tower Ridge were also popular choices.
