Winter skills and a walk to the summit of Cairngorm

Today was lovely on Cairngorm and we were very sheltered in Coire Cas only founding it a bit breezy when we reached the plateau. The snow was frozen and amazingly hard so great for crampon practice but not so nice for ice axe breaking! We enjoyed a leisurely wander up to the summit of Cairngorm enjoying the views over Loch Avon and the cloud pouring over the lower hills to the south. Very atmospheric.
