The cold, clear, calm conditions continue and what snow that has survived the thaw is bullet hard. Up in the North West there is very little left and even the gullies in north faces are generally not complete. Despite the lack of snow, the traverse of Beinn Dearg (of the recent re-measurement fame) in Torridon was good fun. The rock was warm, in complete contrast to the baltic conditions in the glens, and the easy enjoyable scrambling added a bit of spice to the day. Less fun were the steep grass and heather slopes up to and back down from the ridge.
