[MCR] Coire Dubious

Climbed ‘Coire Dubious’ (Mills/Holeczi) on Lodder Peak yesterday with Mr. Welsted.  The route starts up the Coire Dubh drainage but moves left after the initial rock pitches of Coire Dubh or Doors of Perception.

 

The ice steps are in great shape and seem to be holding up with all this warm weather.  Between ice flows we walked on hard wind slabs up to 25cm thick that were non-reactive. As of yesterday there was no new snow but that may change by tomorrow morning with the forecasted snowfall warning.

 

As expected, the route has some loose rock but will clean up with more traffic.
