> Coire Dubh was in pretty good shape today(saturday). The ice is in for the
> 1st pitch, an easy section and a fat 3rd pitch. All grade 2 . Scruffy in the
> upper easy sections, unconsolidated snow on talus. We climbed the big left
> facing corner just right of centre for the last 100m. It was a mostly dry
> rock with a dusting of powder on top. Some firm snow and ice but not much up
> there.
>
> We didn’t find any scary cracking or whumphing windslabs. Not much snow left
> to move around so until it gets hot, rains or snows a bunch more it should be
> a reasonable place to go reasonable places.
