A Quality Mountain Day

We awoke to a snow covered bothy with a couple of inches of fresh all round. After porridge we headed up to Gharb Choire Dhaidh where we climbed Twilight Gully on perfect hard snow. There was no cornice at the top and as we topped out the sun came out and the sky cleared, a perfect end to the courses first named route. We hacked back thorugh the occasional snow cloud until it cleared on our descent back in to the Lairig affording us awesome views of Cairn Lochan and Rothiemurchus forest and Loch Morlich down in the valley.
