Improving weather
11th February 2023
The wind first thing this morning was Gale force from the West but thankfully eased off during the day. The cloud level also lifted above the summits to allow for better observations of conditions and snow cover.
The freezing level continued to hover above the summits but didn’t stop some wind exposed slopes from feeling icy and more secure with crampons on.
