Today a new mountain. Carried effortlessly past the early morning ski staff by the Aonach Mor gondola, you could be forgiven for thinking we'd gone for some convenience cragging. Not for us, the easy life though, no. With compasses in hand we swam through thick cloud to reach Aonach Mor's baby sister, ever hopeful that we'd be greeted with ribbons of ice. Instead we were mocked by enormous lumps of windslab snow, threatening to pounce on any climber foolhardy enough to approach them. Foiled again.
