A quick trip north to Glen Coe on Monday saw Craig head up the Zig Zags on Gear Aonach for a quick hit in the snow to the 'Hurt Lochan'.

| Looking down the Zig Zag's to Glen Coe |
The sun was out but the snow stripped from the route until he got onto the ridge proper. It was a little wet until topping out onto the ridge to be greeted with the sun..who'd have thunk it?

| What a place to emerge onto |
Speaking to a couple on their way to Bidean via the Lost Valley - he told them, "that's a bad idea" - and another on their way to Twisting Gully as the evidence of avalanches and cornice collapse (and rising temperatures) was everywhere to see.

| A very snowy lochan |
 |
| Positively Alpine! |
Some lunch in the loch, photos galore then a walk back down to come home all too early for Craig.
 |
| The business end |
A supper solo day in the sun and sugary snow; not nice for climbing tho.
 |
| Favourite place on earth |
