Two Faced
Atmospheric conditions with clouds forming on the lee of the West ridge of Sgurr nan Gillian; viewed from Am Basteir before heading up Gillian.
Late season snow and ice in Coire a' Basteir on the left (Northern) side of the ridge made for a tricky solo ascent of the initial chimney crux. The Southern side was free of snow and ice, and in the sun and sheltered from the Northerly wind, felt like a different season.
