Fiacaill Ridge...

Today the weather was a bit better than forecast so the plan was to make sure we got a good day in before we head home tomorrow (Friday).

We set off from the ski centre car park and made the long slog up the slope leading to the ridge proper. Once at the top we got kitted up with crampons and helmets before heading down past the notch before ascending the ridge. The snow was fairly deep and the ice was melting quicker than we were moving due to the mild temperature.

We made good progress arriving at the top of the ridge by 11:30am! Once we were at the top we followed the ridge round to spot height 1176 metres and then round to spot height 1141 metres. Once here we descended the Fiacaill a Choire Chais back down to the ski centre car park for 'tea, cakes and medals'...

Another good day in the bag before we head back down south tomorrow...
