Debris in Coire an Lochan.
30th March 2024
After a cloudy morning it cleared up for a few hours around the middle of the day before it clouded over again, there were some showers, but also some sunny spells during the afternoon. The clear conditions allowed a good opportunity to have a look at some recent debris in Coire an Lochan. On closer inspection it turned out there had been a number of small and medium size avalanches. Most of these looked to be soft slab with one pile of debris which was a bit firmer, this may well have been cornice collapse.

Avalanche debris in Coire an Lochan. This debris is a few days old, probably releasing on on Wednesday. Hard to see in this photo, but this was probably debris from two separate avalanches.
