Cairngorm Day

An interesting day today with slightly warmer temperatures and a wind which gusted to 60 mph on Cairngorm summit. It was full Scottish winter climbing conditions and these photos are of Jon climbing on Invernookie which is a classic two star grade III,4 . Invernookie was first climbed in winter by Kenny Spence and John Porteous on the 4th January 1969. It's on the Fiacaill buttress of Coire an t-Snechda.

Hi Sandy,

It was good to meet you and John in the Corrie on Sunday. We ended up straying onto Broken Fingers III,4 which looked a a good bit thinner than Invernookie (which also thought about).

Good to see that you both also got to enjoy the Scottish weather. Maybe see you in the Glen sometime!.

Cheers

Douglas
