Be Bold - Start Cold

This morning we headed for Garbe Coire via the Charlamain Gap and up the Lairig Ghru. The weather was fantastic with easy walking over frozen trails until we hit the snow line at 700m, the névé provided solid going as the sun reflected off the valley floor. We reached the Gharbe Coire Bothy around lunch time which was in a sorry state. What was left of the door was hanging off and inside looked like a damp cave, but five minutes of stoves blaring and a cup of tea soon found us more than happy with our rustic surroundings.
In the afternoon we headed up into Garbh Coire Dhaidh to practice movement on snow and the session finished with a climb and descent of a Grade I gully.
