Coire an Lochain buttresses with the great slab below

Dodging the thunder storms

Yesterday I escaped the thunder and lightning and torrential downpours for an evening climb in the Cairngorms. Mike and I had the buttresses of Coire an Lochain to ourselves. There are still some patches of snow hanging in there in the North facing gullies.

It's not often that you are climbing in Scotland at 1200m at 9pm in shorts and T.shirt, but last night was one of those special occasions.
