A Windy Day on Carn Dearg



, originally uploaded by brockers oc1.

With a weather forecast for high winds and the recent snowfall creating a risk of avalanche we decided to stay low and head into Glen Roy to see the 'Parallel Roads' and went up Carn Dearg.
Conditions were a bit wild at times, especially when we summited! Snow conditions were mixed, there was a lot of fresh powder, which higher up was laying ontop of an icy layer. There's significant cross loading, the high winds should see a lot of drifting.
